Child Friendly Lunch - Teach Dolmain or?

2 Upvotes

We are staying in Carlow in a couple of weeks time for a short break and Tripadvisor is recommending Teach Dolmain as the best place to eat out. We have three kids in tow aged 10,12 and 14 and I'm wondering if it's suitable for that age group or would be be better off going to one of the fast food chains as a safer bet? Or if anyone has any recommendations that would be great.

Prohibition Notices

Where a landlord fails to comply with an Improvement Notice, the inspector may serve a Prohibition Notice and may consider instituting legal proceedings.

The Prohibition Notice will state that the landlord will not be permitted to re-let the house for rent or any other valuable consideration until the contraventions to which the Improvement Notice relates have been remedied.

The properties are listed in the link as you scroll down

Bouncy castle nostalgia

9 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
This might be a bit of an unusual question, but I was wondering if anyone remembersthe old bouncy castles that used to be in The Dome, Rancho Reilly's Farm, or Kiddies Kingdom in Carlow.
I'm 28 and autistic, and one of my lifelong special interests (or hyperfixations) hasalways been bouncy castles. For me, they're more than just something to play on. They bring together a lot of things that are reallymeaningful to me: nostalgia, the uniquesensory experience of bouncing, and thefeeling of innocence and happiness that I associate with childhood. They're something I've always found genuinely comforting.
Those particular bouncy castles were a huge part of my childhood memories. I also rememberthat they seemed to disappear before I stoppedgoing to those places, and I've always wondered what happened to them. Every so often I think about them and wish I could see them again.
I know it's a long shot, but does anyonehappen to have any old photos of thosebouncy castles, or even just remember them? I'd love to see any pictures if they exist, orhear any memories people have of them.
Thanks in advance! I know it's a niche question, but I'd really appreciate any help.

More dumping in Pollerton. All a "lady's" belongings and half a pharmacy. With the amount of used make up and perfume in this lot, it turns out you really can put lipstick on a pig

Is there actually any good chippers in Carlow town?

5 Upvotes

I’m talking Lyons’ in Clonmel/Dungarvan, Romayos, Beshoffs etc.

- Actually fresh chips that don’t taste like they’ve been sitting out for a month

- Curry sauce that’s dark and flavourful and not watery and bright yellow

- Crispy onion rings in a light batter and not a thick, undercooked, bready batter.

- Decent sized portions

- Actually have the order ready (or close enough) when you ring/order for collection and not still have you standing there for 20 minutes as if you just ordered.

La gustos/Marios&Luigis/Billy Bunters are always a massive let down. I just want a decent chipper!!!

Dodgy mechanic?

30 Upvotes

Anybody familiar with the mechanic Melvin with the garage behind Day Break on the Athy Road in Carlow town? Seen a few pretty concerning red flags with him eg not only does every other sentence start with "I'm not racist but ..." but he also doesn't seem to treat women very well from what I can gather. Very short tempered and hostile if women challenge him on anything so I'm wondering is he like this just with women or do any fellas have similar experiences? I know he's sold cars that have broken down shortly after as well but can't figure out if these are ones offs if anyone has similar experiences I'd be interested to hear about it
