Ah right, and there’s another place down on Ellen Street up from Kebabish, looks like another Courtyard?

Cobblestone Joes.

Also known by some wags as Nancy Fakes

The illfated Opera Center site is now offically back on the market for a mere €12.5m. They paid €110m for it at the height of the boom.
It’s surely worth someone taking a punt on it at that price, even if they just put another few million with it they would have around 20 retail units at their disposal. The planning for the Shopping Center was for it to be about 38,000 sq ft.

Have Nama got this now? Hard to believe the lads who bought it would take a major hit like that.

Even if they were to just flatten the thing and put a car park there til things pick up again it would make a marked improvement. An absolute eye sore at this point

JP paid for all the old shop fronts in it to painted recently but the whole place is getting dangerous at this stage. Some of those buildings on Patrick/Rutland St look like they are fit to collapse

How long before they rename the entire city in his honour? Anything he hasn’t put money into?

It’s fairly embarrassing at this stage. You still have local councillors coming out every few weeks “perhaps we should ask JP to do this” “approach JP to do that”.

Cringe shit.

Seriously? That’s crazy shit. I suppose it’s JP’s way of “paying tax” so it may as well go to some stuff that’s useful for Limerick city.

I don’t mean to kick Limerick when it’s down but that doesn’t look like an ideal venue for an Opera House. Compare it to the narrow cobbled streets of Wexford town and the beautifully appointed Opera House on High Street - a truly beautiful setting when one is upstairs in the venue looking out onto Wexford Harbour. That place in Limerick looks to be no more than a grubby street corner. You can have JP’s money, Limerick, but you’ll never have Wexford’s inherent class.

Bandage, these dopes down in Limerick weren’t even building an Opera house, it was going to be a shopping centre but they were calling it “The Opera Centre” because some opera singer was born there in the early part of the last century. Yuo couldn’t make it up

The fools, chewy. The absolute fools. Next thing they’ll probably go and elect a property developer as one of their TDs.

no doubt it was Uncle Tom’s like SS** who thought it would be a masterstroke to try and piggyback off the success of the Wexford Opera House and immerse themselves in it’s reflective glory.

Reminds me of the Monorail episode of The Simpsons when Patty and Selma suggest renaming the town from Springfield to Seinfeld

I have been a vehement opponent of this unimaginative retail development since its inception, Puke. Just as I am against Clare’s increasingly grubby stewardship of the Cliffs of Moher.

[The_Runt]

What about those cunts up in Athea?
Beat a 70 year old man to a pulp and their parents (up to 60 witnesses) refused to cooperate with the Garda investigation.
Fuckin animals. Must be the wind blowing up from Listowel.
The victim still had the decency to plead with the judge not to send them to jail.

Convenient that you left out the part that he instigated the row by man handling one of the youths.

The main culprits name is Mark ‘Sparky’ Murphy, named because he is always starting.

Two little fuckers tanked up on drink and drugs. The Leach family and Murphy family were supposedly friendly enough to each other too.
Are they that dangerous or what that nobody in the whole village could speak up against them?

I’ll get RTT to find out the story behind it all. He has a bog back in athea, and employs a few local scallies to cut turf so they’ll surely know the score.
