That looks a lovely spot, Iām delighted that my aimless driving yesterday evening has given rise to a discussion about a forgotten beauty spot in Limerick, lovely view over to Rineanna/Shannon airport. I did notice that the Broad majestic Shannon was fairly raging below in Ringmoylan, would you be taking a chance going for a dip below there, Iād be a good strong pool swimmer but not so much in the sea.
I may well be up on Knockfierna later today, havenāt in a few years and all the kids should manage it now, Iāll take the little one on my shoulders for some of it, if I do it Iāll get ye a nice picture.
There used to be a sea pool in ringmoylan until relatively recently. A great amenity that was left to decay until it was beyond saving.

It would be terrific to be up there on a fine summers day like today. Might venture up there tomorrow afternoon myself.
Ireland is a different country with a bit of fine weather.
Knockfierna is a mighty spot.
I remember going into it a couple of times. Fucking horrible 
Foynes swimming pool was the same. Used to be filled by the tide. Crabs and all inside in it.
I just remember slipping around on the seaweed. No good to a kid but youād enjoy it now.
There is going to be a Mexican snack wagon in the āUrban Gardenā (which is a good idea woefully implemented) outside Pennies everyday for the summer.
Is that were the crepes shed currently is?
Yes Big Mick and the Rene Cusacks stand.
I think the Crepes is actually an ice cream vendor now though.
Is Foynes swimming pool still there?
Iād very disappointing tacos that I waited twenty minutes for there on Monday. Hope it improves.

She said the weekend was mental. They completely sold out of everything by Monday evening so Iād say you were just unlucky with the timing. My burrito was nice, could have been a bit hotter and was a little dry. They use proper corn wraps as opposed to flour ones.
You canāt get daycent Mexican in this countryā¦ some places will get the taste right but give you very little and charge a lot. Others then load up but itās average fareā¦ alas, Iāve learned to stay away en Irlandaā¦

Yeah. I was waiting around like a mug for twenty minutes and not even a hint of an apology. The two in the van looked like they hadnāt a clue what they were doing, and were about as Mexican as set-dancing in Tournafulla. No flavour there at all.
A friend was telling me thereās some Mexican store up in Dublin where you can load up on proper tortillas and whatnot. Must get the deets pal.
Protests in Limerick today- at the Courthouse, Bank of Ireland, AIB, maybe one or two more banks, couple of solicitors, an estate agents, they came into the courtyard of our place.
They had a coffin with them, which seems to have attracted a lot of attention.
Was on the Limerick-Foynes bus after, one of them was sitting behind me, heard him say āThere was about 120 of us inside in Bank of Ireland with the coffin, they hadnāt a clue what was going on. Savage craic.ā
They seemed to enjoy it anyway.
Iām no fan of the banksā¦but youād have to wonder what does that so called protest actually achieve?
Do they think by going around with a coffin and a couple of cheap masks on theyāll save the world from capitalism.
I dunno, nice day out in the sun?
