I go every year and always find it a bit of a shoddy afair with tatty stalls and very litle effort. Not a good advertisement for Ireland in my opinion.



Why go every year if all you do is complain about it, why go at all? Why not offer your services and expertise to improve it rather than denegrate it.


I like it being there every year and find it worth a visit. If you cant stand the heat keep out of the kitchen.

I wasn't complaining SteveT. It's an observation. I go every year because I think such events should be supported. I just think it's a shame that it's all a bit down at heel and much more could be done.


I will complain though about the funfair that happens at the same time - ?2.50 for a child to hook a duck and ?3 a token - daylight robbery.


PS you owe me for letting the (renamed) 'Where's the Thank you thread gone?' die!

Ah thats to do with our IP addresses!! when i was doing some internet searches i stumbled across a thing where you could buy an Irish IP address - but I doubt thats legal!! The London Rose won the Rose of Tralee - thats all I know about it this year, think the family didnt see it at all.. I've written to Gerry Ryan (you can listen to him online every day) and see if he does something - woohoo :)

    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
