Last night, around 9.30 p.m. I was delivering some things to a friend down on Church Street, and was walking back to my car when 3 young people, one on a bike, were sulking around the bottom of Church Street, I'd say about 17/18 yrs. One of them was a bit younger. Passed them by, and one guy cycles up behind me, hitting the tyre off the back of my foot. I said "what are you doing? Get the fcuk..." and then a ginger one who was now beside me swung his arm with such force that I landed on the ground. I didnt know what was happening before I was getting punches to the head, a kick to the chest and another to the nape of my neck.

All I remember is lying there for a moment, not yet in pain, thinking "is this real?" It was so out of the blue. One moment I was walking to my car, the next I was on the ground looking ag these kids running off towards town. It felt like ages, it couldn't have been more than 30 seconds.

I rang the Guards but since I only saw the overweight ginger chap, I told them don't bother. My jaw is killing me today but it's grand. They were lousy punches.

I'm just curious if this has happened to anyone, does this particular group sound familiar? Don't name anyone, of course. They were so casual about it they must be doing it for the laugh. Such a strange thing to happen in Nenagh. I've never had the slightest trouble before there.

Two shocking things there.

1) that anti social behaviour has spread so much down the country.
2) that nobody expects the police to do much.

jprboy · 02-04-2021 12:36pm

Sorry to hear about that, ATNM.

Glad to hear you're not badly hurt.

I presume you mean Church Road? Did this happen near the cinema?

I'd class that as unusual for Nenagh where, in my experience, you only find trouble if you go looking for it.

That's a serious assault, though, and if they get away scot free it's simply a licence for them to become repeat offenders.

I disagree with you telling the Gardai not to bother with it. I'd be insisting that they follow up on this.

Oh yes, Church Road, sorry am not from the town itself.

Yeah I will make a report, there might be CCTV. I'm just bewildered because Nenagh is a very safe town. Even when bars were open, I wouldn't think twice about walking through the town on a weekend night.

If nothing else, anyone who happens to be walking around at night might do well to just cross the road if they see three young lads of this description, loitering. They were so casual about it, I cannot imagine it's an isolated thing.

elperello · 02-04-2021 2:20pm

Monkey see monkey do.

Those kids have probably seen other little blackguards online using the same MO.

Definitely follow up with AGS they should be keen to nip this in the bud.

Too much gets classified as ASB these days, that was an assault.

I don't live in Nenagh but I know the town and I think it is unusual but if they get away with it things will go downhill.

If you know a local councillor it would be no harm to get on to them.

Apologies to all red-heads. I only mention it because his hair was a nearly fluorescent shade of ginger and also mentioned his size because those are the only two features (along with a very 'flat' face) that I can remember; just so people are aware, if out walking at night etc.

We Repair on Pearse Street repaired a laptop for me a while back. They're open for business as far as I know.

tromtipp · 14-06-2021 7:46pm

Ormond AV in the business centre in Silver Street are good, and have customer parking which is always useful.

lisasimpson · 23-06-2021 8:36pm

Nice boast for the town there this morning with the Firserv job announcement. More of the land over in streme getting developed. Now if only some more house could be built in some of the unfinished estates in the town for some of the staff to live there

Boscoirl · 23-06-2021 8:57pm

Hopefully it’ll be a boost to the town. But they haven’t delivered half of the original 300 jobs announced yet.

Ireland doesn’t have the skill set to fill these jobs outside of Dublin.

lisasimpson · 23-06-2021 9:05pm

In fairness those some skill sets are hard to find in dublin too. Many are looking to relocate from dublin too so hopefully the town will benefit. Theres a digital hub due to be built over there too. All postives to the town and surrounding areas

Apple in Cork can't seem to fill all their jobs from within Ireland but have managed to attract the workers needed, nonetheless.

It's not uncommon for people looking for work to travel to where jobs are on offer.

Anyone recommend a roofer in the Nenagh area for slating a gazebo roof.

mp3ireland2 · 28-08-2021 7:53pm

Any bars in Nenagh have live music these times? The abbey court hotel seems to have a lad tonight but it might be a backing track I fear! Last minute question :-D missed out on a kila gig as I researched too late :-(

lisasimpson · 13-09-2021 2:29am

Anyone know whats happening with the building accross the street ftom the FBD office seems to be work goinf on at it.

Also wish the authorities would do something about the organised begging. Seems to be at least 4 of them regularly begging on a sat now

Grab All Association · 13-09-2021 11:30am

Joey O'connor becoming Supervalu. I understand why they have sold their soul to the Musgrave group. For years he was sourcing products from Nisa Today (later Co op). Brexit kinda put an end to that, but he also carried a lot of products that most stores in Ireland wouldn't stock. Sugar Free Belgian chocolate for example.

Prices will now be dictated by Musgraves and have already rised. Only a small amount of locally produced food will be sold by them now.

lisasimpson · 13-09-2021 7:42pm

The old supervalu rewards card is handy if your an online shopping lover. Through their partners you can earn loads of supervalu points like elverys, lifestyle sports asos, booking.com etc. Its the only time i shop in supervalu is when ive reward points built up and might be in thurles or roscrea. Any idea when that will be offical

Grab All Association · 14-09-2021 1:31am

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/117886570#Comment_117886570

It should work right now. The tills are SuperValu’s system so the rewards cards should be acceptable. new stock coming in is also SuperValu with their barcoded prices underneath. Hence the price of Coke Zero has gone from €1.40 to €1.65

it’ll transition slowly like Barry’s in Thurles. Planning permission was granted last year for alterations to the layout and demolition of parts of the store. In around 4 weeks it’ll be all SuperValu stock but the same old store

ironically both towns had SuperValu twice before. Thurles from 1995-2001, Nenagh in the mid 2000s.

Joey O’Connor also had the VG stores (what SuperValu and Centra were called back then) franchises In Nenagh and Thurles in the 1970s.

many theories why it didn’t work out in Thurles for him and the store was bought by Quinnsworth, becoming crazy prices in 1991 and Tesco in 1997 (though not rebranded fully to Tesco until 2001)

Musgraves bought the L&N chain of supermarkets from the Torrie family in Waterford. It had two stores in Tipperary (Tipp town and Thurles) and it became SuperValu for 6 years under McKevitts. McKevitt also rebranded Johnston’s on Liberty Square as Johnston’s SuperValu for a period of time.

Unfortantly for the people of Nenagh, the majority of products they purchase will cost more. They have no control over this, Musgraves do.

lisasimpson · 14-09-2021 10:16am

Supervalu isnt cheap alright i alway laugh at that finance show How to be good with money and every household on it are doing the weekly shop in supervalu even when they are trying to pay off debt.

Deedsie · 14-09-2021 11:06am

Just in case any Nenagh locals havent seen the thread on upgrading the Limerick - Nenagh - Ballybrophy Railway. It would be great if people could sign this petition and share it on with other Nenagh people who might also sign it.

We are in a position where we might have a half decent rail service for our town and the rest of North Tipperary over the the next few years. But we need to make some noise and make sure politicians, Irish Rail and the NTA hear peoples demand for better public transport. Please consider signing and get us over the 1000 signature mark.

Grab All Association · 15-09-2021 1:55pm

Supervalu Thurles are now €1.45 for canned beverages. Musgraves are really taking the piss here.

O'connors will be the same with prices in the coming weeks. I always went to Joeys to support a local business, but with these price increases I'll be going elsewhere.

Boscoirl · 27-11-2021 3:31pm

Anyone recommend a good cleaner in Nenagh? Looking for someone to do our house. It would be few hours every 2-3 weeks

Was there anything more about this?

Red Hare · 09-01-2022 11:18am

Sr Lelia was my 6th class teacher in the st mary's convent primary.

She taught us to weave plaid, and to make a bag with the fabric we had produced.

We also learned a poem from her about this;

I always remember the poem this way - see below.

(I'm sure I am 90 percent correct but not 100 percent

so if anyone has any corrections to make, please do so)

Sr Leila was a great teacher.

A chameleon cannot be seen

when lounging, on a leaf of green.

He is a very clever fellow, invisible on flowers yellow.

On backgrounds, dotted, dappled, speckled,

his coat is most unusually freckled.

He has a wide superior grin,

so cleverly he'll change his skin!

For to drive, the chameleon spartan,

simply place him on a piece of tartan.

It makes the wretched mad,

to have to imitate scotch plaid.

Getting to Nenagh from Dublin and back within same day via public transport????

Don't know about buses but the trains seem to have a poor offering.

Surely someone around here has an idea
