There was a woman that ran a jewellery shop or ornaments or some kind of stuff that was where Irish Nationwide used to be. She used to have some drive in her and basically went around to the businesses on the street to get some money towards simple thing like Christmas decorations etc. for Cruises Street. Had difficulty with some of the places as they were chains. Think the poor woman passed away a few years back. Some amount of units closed on it.

It’s our #GeorgianLivingRoom.

I saw a fella get an awful hopper off his bicycle after cycling into the bowling green there last week so it’s not all negative.

The wife won’t walk down Cruises St. any more. She’ll attack it from either end if she has to but avoids the bit in the middle where the unsavoury element hang out all day gowling.

Grand places there for them to sit and they never seem to be moved on.

So putting a roof over it is far from the correct answer I’m afraid.

If there’s business and it’s thriving then those people will be shifted.

A great place for a piss when in town

Most of West Limerick and North Kerry commuters use the N21, it has five times the traffic volume of the N69 coast road. I work in the city with lads who commute from Castleisland, Brosna and Moyvane. Add to that, tourists in the summer using the main route to Kerry, all makes for a very busy road. By some distance the busiest in the county.

New improved roads are the solution, but they must be constructed in tandem. It’s no good doing one in isolation, you’re just going to create more bottle necks. It’s also about safety for motorists, the N21 is dangerously oversubscribed. I live on it, and some evenings I can be three minutes waiting just to cross it.

cunt of a drive everyday

The bypass of Adare is only getting done on the basis of the connection to Foynes. It’s a clever enough use of EU funding. They were never going to be able to upgrade that entire road and it will have to be done piecemeal.

I appreciate that the link to Foynes is a good use of funds, and will do much for the port and local economy. Nonetheless they are still creating more bottlenecks than they solve.

So what would you do?

  • Do Nothing
  • Fix one bottle neck then the others in time after that
