We are just a ridiculously expensive county to eat and drink in nowadays. Itās like mini America. A good portion of people can afford it but itās so tough on those who canāt. Dunno how you fix it.
When a place thatās doing bad closes down, it canāt have any complaints but when a place thatās busy is closing down its a big problem.
Seems to be a total air of depression around this January compared to others. Half the population between 24-30 must be in Australia or about to go there.

In the case of Flanagans, they were very reasonably priced for excellent food yet they still couldnāt cope with the costs to make a worthwhile profit.

Saw some article at the weekend which had an interview with a cafe owner. He said sales grew 15%, giving them a record year, and they lost 50k. Thatās mental.

Electric costs could easily have gone up 4-5k per month for such an operation
People ( lots of them ) who purchased vouchers are very upset too.
Fantastic news. Hopefully it can help rejuvenate the area and maybe surpass Dundalk as the all weather option. New N24 should boost ascessibility even further.
Now is the time to invest in property in Tipperary Town.

I donāt see any need for a second all weather track in England.
Can see this badly impacting field sizes.
Were trainers not giving out recently that their horses were being balloted out of Dundalk a lot? Expect Coolmore to throw a bit of support behind this
People will always complain but a few extra fixtures would ease that. Iād rather a ballot than 3 and 4 runner fields and ruin a great product.
Why wouldnāt they and it on their doorstep
Its a pity we never got Two Mile Vegas that time but this will have to do.

Iād be very close to someone who was going to be bounsing it and he showed me a big A2 size folder with the entire plans.
It was an absolutely astonishing stuff.
It was some visionary stuff from Mr Quirke and Mr Lowry.
There going to be helicopter landing strips and all sorts.

Another tragic accident overnight it seems. 15 year old dead and 4 more injured, all early 20s. God help the families.
Non nationals was what i heard.
Both in their 60ās so should have had more sense.
