We stopped in to Horgans Foodstore Buttevant today on the way back from Cork, this is a hidden gem of a shop, tons of classic sweets, well worth a visit if you are passing through Buttevant or you can also shop online!

Leave the kids at home or you'll spend a little fortune 😂😂

A thumbs up from us!

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share that we run a homeless outreach table every Friday and Saturday outside Brown Thomas. We're working hard to support those in need, but the demand is overwhelming, and we could really use your help.

We’re looking for donations of sleeping bags, tents, and warm clothing to give to the many homeless individuals who approach us daily. While we do our best to provide these ourselves, it’s becoming more than we can manage alone.

If you have any spare sleeping bags, tents, or warm items that you no longer need, please get in touch. Your generosity can make a huge difference for someone in need.

Thank you so much for your support!

The can drop donations off on the night we set up outside Brown Thomas 7pm till 8.30pm.

Thanks so much

Open up the city, all lanes to two-way traffic and scrap the bike lanes. Enough of this Green sh*te.

Can you imagine the millions of € spent on bike lanes up and down the country, while we have local families holed up in 1 Bed hotel rooms up all over the country.

Speed limits are being reduced on many Irish roads in 2025.

The first of these changes will come into effect on Friday the 7th of February 2025, when default speed limits on rural local roads will decrease from 80km/h to 60km/h. New speed limit signs will replace existing ones to reflect this change. The meaning of the Rural Speed Limit sign (a white circle with three diagonal black lines) will change from 80km/h to 60km/h as well.

Later in 2025, the speed limit in urban cores, which include built up areas as well as housing estates and town centres, will reduce to 30km/h. The speed limit on national secondary roads will also reduce from 100km/h to 80km/h.

These changes are being made under the Road Traffic Act 2024. The Act follows a number of key recommendations from the Speed Limit Review, which was undertaken by the Department in 2023.

What are your thoughts?
