    Knock on Little Catherine St. is gone. I'm surprised no one has taken it for a coffee shop as it's a very nice looking unit.

    Depends on which religion and denomination.

    Could be anything from actual sales, donations or paid by the church in question. Could it also be a donated lease to stop a CPO.

    Is there still a book shop attached to the church across the road from that site ?

    Yeah the former Knock shrine shop has been up for sale for a few months. I think it might have gone "sale agreed" now. Accommodation on the ground and first floor so it would be ideal for a cafe or restaurant on a street that's particularly suitable for such a use. Hopefully it can be turned around relatively quickly but considering it seems to take far longer for premises to be re-occupied in Limerick than other cities we could be waiting.

    The former Greene's restaurant next door is a case in point. It's been empty and deteriorating since the end of 2017. Can't believe the Council haven't added it to the Vacant Sites Register. I contacted them about it a few months ago and apparently a survey is now underway.

    Too small a site for the current VSR. If deemed suitable for Residential Zoned Land Tax it may NS included.

    Smyths and Icon are officially reopening on Saturday. It seems that Icon was actually open for graduation parties last week.

    I was in Childers Road on Sunday and I'm fairly sure I saw a Mountain Warehouse sign where that stuff used me. I don't know would it take up all those units tough.

    Hi all,

    As a Boardsie for many many (MANY) years, I really should have mentioned this more openly and more directly as the community we have is unique. So I started a business in Limerick. A huge step for me as I spent 19 years in corporate and was let go just before covid happened. I know that whatever I did next, I wanted it to be something I loved. The hardest thing for me is self promotion so here goes (approved by mod).

    I opened a stall at Wickham Way Market where I sell bundles of Pokemon cards to kids and collector-grade cards to adults. We are there every Saturday from 10-3 and we are expanding into other areas over the next few months. We have a second market in Thurles once a month.

    We would love it if you could spread the word to any family and friends who have kids that are into Pokemon. We also sell online at www.pokebundles.com in case you are from outside of Limerick - you can use WELCOME10 to get 10% off.

    Whatever it is, it appears to be a well hidden secret. There is no folio for that building, no land registry, no deed, no planning application, nothing. With one of them you can trace the LTD company involved(like with Decathlon, you could find the architect did all the works for Decathlon so it was pretty sure it was them) but with 130 O'Connell Street(appears to be that address) there is nothing. Shame, as I'm fairly nosey to find out.

    Nandos will have a good following, 5 guys people will give out about it because of pricing(I do visit 5 guys myself in other places, likely heading to one this weekend in Dublin), could be a Wagamamma. Now, we only have what an estate agent calls a "well known" restaurant so who knows what his opinion of well known is. Challenge also with "restaurant" is that McDonalds(just for the sake of the argument) is a QSR(quick serve restaurant) so anything fast food can be classed as such.

    Unless there is other news we often see the jobs posted for the management before the Limerick are back on talking about the story again like it new news. I did like a Facebook comment about it being Burgerland. Now that would be not quite well known but a welcome blast from the past for some of us.

    The unit was subject to a planning application (17552) in 2017 which saw the change of use from retail to restaurant.

    At the time Dunnes were still the owners and it was speculated it might be Five Guys as they had moved into the former Dunnes Home store on Sth Great George’s Street in Dublin.

    Back in 2017, a representative from the Dunnes Stores property section said their target tenant list included but "was not limited to; Nando's, Eddie Rockets, KFC, Milano, Five Guys, Jamie's Kitchen, Bunsen, TGI Fridays etc."

    I was hoping that the site would be redeveloped and a taller building with a strong facade design (brick, natural stone etc.) be constructed. The current building is underscaled compared to the rest of O'Connell Street and the frontage has been butchered many times over the last 60 years or so. Indeed the whole block from Bedford Row to Sarsfield Street is a mess. Especially the awful Bank of Ireland lump of misery.
