Between the roundabout and Claughaun. O’Reilly’s, as far as I know.

Childer got a right long road named after him
The person has since been sent to a better hospital who upgraded their status to grand
Died at the right time
I don’t expect that you remember that stretch of road before the halting site and the retail park were built. An open field with caravans along both sides of the road from parkway to ballysimon. There was a terrible soccer pitch which featured multiple ponies on the site of the retail park.
It was known as flamingo road. Let’s see who gets that reference

When was the road built. Would you believe my grandmothers house was opposite Claughaun on more or less what’s the slip road into the retail park on that side. Used to be a scrap metal yard behind her and she sold him a few acres that were later along with his yard sold for millions. Needless to say she got nothing like that
The Traveling Circus from the TV show?

That’s the one.
Hegarty had the scrapyard which added further to the ambience
Edit - the road itself was there as long I can remember from the parkway over to near punches cross.

Must have been built around the 80s my father said he used to have to go through garryowen to get from the Boro to the parkway for concerts
A bag of chips are great occasionally
