As per the title, does anyone have a gardener/gardening company they would recommend for maintenance and cleanup work? Not hard landscaping work.

Does this bar serve food/has a kitchen?

Also, do they have a smoking area out the back?

I’m in Clare for a couple of weeks, and I have a wedding next week. I could do with getting the hem of my suit trousers taken up.

Where’s the best place to go in Ennis? I’ve found a few posts on Facebook and stuff, but I’m a bit skeptical ‘cos I’m not from here.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi! I’m a visitor from NYC, really loving my time in county Clare. Staying in Ennis for the next few days and wanted to request any tips for swimming in Ballyallia Lake- do people still enjoy the swimming (quality of water) or is this more of a picnic spot? Also taking any other recommendations for easy trips by bus (my family didn’t rent a car). Thank you!

I was walking my dog very early this morning before the heat sets in. If there's noone around, I usually let her off the lead to run down the foresty part, she likes jumping into bushes and exploring.

I was approached by a guy with absolute nonsense questions who distracted me. Moved on and then panicked when I couldn't see my dog and she usually comes immediately back when called. She did come back after a few terrifying minutes and her harness had been taken and stolen off her.

There's a campsite set up there in the bushes on the pitch and I'm pretty sure it was one of them, the fecks.

It was always a fun and safe place for us to go.

Anyway, just a heads up on that 👍

EDIT: Phone call back again from the guards, they're going to send someone to have a look tonight. Vague. They also want me to give a statement because it was a guy who distracted me and approached me but in next few days. Could do without that tbh but anyway.

Plus news: I got a new collar and harness for doggo for our evening walk. I'd post a pic but don't want anyone to steal her 😂 🤪

Thanks everyone for advice.

Just another update, the exact same thing happened this morning. Someone approaching all friendly etc. She was on a lead this time though

Hi guys can anyone recommend a shop selling solid wood (not engineered or laminate) flooring in clare or limerick please?

Well lads I’ve been to the last 2 Fleadh’s in Wexford and thoroughly enjoyed them for the buzz and the music and sessions in the pubs. Come to see a few videos of people at the Willie Clancy festival and wondering would it be comparable to the Fleadh? Seriously thinking of going for 2 nights and staying in Miltown Malbay itself next year

Any advice or thoughts welcome

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for recommendations for a venue in West Clare for a birthday celebration in November.

We’re expecting around 70–80 guests and are hoping for a relaxed evening rather than a formal sit-down dinner. Ideally we’re looking for:

A private space
A full bar
Live music
Finger food/canapés or the option to bring in outside catering

We’ve already reached out to Bellbridge House, Lahinch Coast Hotel, Keane’s Oyster Bar and Bay View Hotel, but we’d love to hear about any other venues people would recommend around Spanish Point, Miltown Malbay, Lahinch, Quilty, Doonbeg, Kilkee, Kilrush, Cooraclare, or nearby.

Even if it’s somewhere that isn’t advertised as an event
venue, I’d really appreciate any suggestions or personal experiences.

Thanks so much!

I am interested in cheap DVDs/Blu rays and was wondering where in Ennis would have these second hand?

Just looking for some info on how easy or hard it is to buy a mobile home plot or home itself for seasonal use, in either Lahinch or Liscannor? Are there waiting lists to get in or how does it work? Do I contact the caravan/mobile home park directly? I know Slatterys is the one opposite the golf course in Lahinch but I've been told by a current occupant in there that I'll be told it's full, when it's not.

Looking to stay in the west of Ireland for 2 nights last week of July , was looking at Doolin for it's trad music and proximity to the cliffs of moher but accommodation but accommodation options aren't great at this stage. Is Lisdoonvarna a good alternative? Does it have good pubs and restaurants or are there better towns in Clare to stay.

Have a mobile home and planning on getting it refurbed then ideally having it by the coast somewhere.

Fees are expected and that's not a problem, availability or feasibility are the main questions for now.

Well done Limerick and all that stuff, but that one was hard to take.

Thanks for the memories to all the lads that will step away over the next few months. You've given us some great days.

I was in the café in Dunnes in Ennis eating a scone when a fella came up looking for money. Anyone else have this happen?

Just wondering if anyone else in or around the cappahard area of ennis is having issues with their cold water taps, came home just now to find no cold coming from the tap, is there work being done or what's the story does anyone know??

Hi all, would someone be able to recommend restaurants that have good gluten-free options in Ennis or surrounding areas? Thanks a lot!
