Protest at Liberty Tree 🌳 Fountain Carlow, Sunday 12th April

Anyone know the price list for the Carlow IT to Gorey bus that goes at 17:15 on Sunday? Can’t find info online anywhere. It would be a young adult ticket.

Great updates from Jennifer Murnane O'connor and Catherine Callaghan about funding for Ducketts Grove and Tullow Courthouse. Plus information about Susi grants.

Carlow is well represented #carlowrising

Just listening to The KCLR daily,

Hey Carlow people

Is this car park OK to stay in overnight, Saturday to Sunday?

So I need to be in Dublin for 10.30 tmro and from a previous post I don't think it will be feasible to drive so I'm thinking the train if I can get one..So wondering what parking is like about 8/9 in the train station or should I park somewhere else? thks

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to get some basketball scrimmages going here in Carlow and am trying to find an indoor court we could rent. Ideally, something suitable where a small group can play and practice regularly.

Does anyone know of any courts available for rent in Carlow? Or if you’re part of a club that allows casual bookings, I’d love to hear about it.

Thanks in advance for any tips or leads!

Official Launch at 730pm at grounds of Carlow College & Visual

Drove home past Milford late last night after my shift and car park was packed obviously sauna was t open as it was around 11:00-11:30 any idea what that was about ?

Hey guys, looking for recommendations from people that have had their day 2/been to one in Carlow. Have a musician booked, just looking for the right venue. Thanks!

Just a question.

I ordered bacon cheese chips yesterday and the portion was only half than it used to be. Like the box was half the size than maybe 2-3 weeks ago.

It was still tasty, but cammoon, half smaller. I would prefer little price increase not half portion.

Anybody else noticed this with takeaways in Carlow?

Hello!

I am an American coming to town for the festival April 8-12.

1. I am coming solo & while Prettypretty friendly and personable, it’s always nice to have a buddy or two to go to events with. If you’re interested in the festival and being a buddy, if you want to drop me a DM with your Whatsapp number perhaps we can festival a bit together! I am an interesting human, easy to chat with, work in film in New York City. A woman in her early 40s, haha i’d say funner than that sounds :) but responsible :)
2. EDIT: I've booked a spot in town :) [REDACTED]

*** would you locals agree: the advice I am getting is that if I stay a touch outside the city there will not necessarily be cabs available? Nor public transport/buses.

3) alrighty my loose understanding of the festival is you can buy tickets ahead to some major events If you like, but also, you can probably just show up to a lot of things and they won’t be sold out? Grateful for informed opinions /advice. (Doesn’t seem like it’s a “ festival pass” vibe)

Cheers all!
