Things to do in Waterford

I wouldn’t go to galway anyway tbh, unless you have the weather. Clifden would be a grand spot to base for a few days.

I like Galway. Lived there a few times and spent every summer there for about 10 years in my childhood. Also go there for work for a few days every year. But it’s pricey and is up it’s own hole a bit these days.

Go on. What happened?

This is what I think as a neutral observer. It’s brutal dear and hadn’t many hotels you’d actually stay in. I love the place utterly, but I’m from there, and I have plenty to do. Ours are happy once they go to blackrock every day, but if the weather is bad, I’d not want to be stuck in a city centre hotel with the family.

Nothing too exciting. She spent an evening in temple st with one of her own daughters who was sick all weekend. She was treated by Jack McCaffrey.

Oh that’s not good. I was hoping for some good natured high jinks.

Not there yet. Only the planning granted. Still need government funds.

Thornhill · July 10, 2020, 5:12pm

How did they get that past KCC

Ashman · July 10, 2020, 5:15pm

I loves me Saudi

Fagan_ODowd · July 10, 2020, 5:16pm

Did a rinky dink on it by having the area designated as a Strategic Development area. That way it goes straight to the Bord and doesn’t see a county council.

Remember when Mary O’Rourke tried to sell althlone to the Chinese durkingbthe Great Recession

Thornhill · July 10, 2020, 5:18pm

A shrewd move. Wonder when we will see kick off.

TheBird · July 10, 2020, 5:19pm

Lol

You surely have this one in the bag. Minister Mary Butler, not a wet day in a position of authority, pulls the rabbit out of the hat. All those wasted years of Halligan promising God knows what, John Deasy at war with allcomers, the carroty topped FG lad who’s name escapes me and countless other anonymous useless flutes. Mary will surely bring in a running mate next time out.
Incredible scenes, d’Arabs will reciprocate by establishing a Blaa factory in the desert.

Fuck it I missed an Allahu Akblah joke in my original post

What do you think of the whole thing @Fagan_ODowd? I’d be very skeptical to be honest. I don’t really think it’s the answer for Waterford, it will destroy business on the high streets which is already on its knees. I’d much rather see the city council invest in developing and stimulating the city centre.
