Hayes Pub - a Welcome Oasis!


A recent problem with viewing a Magners League rugby match in my usual watering hole led to my trying out Hayes Pub in Court Street, Enniscorthy, and what a pleasant experience it was. Having recently changed hands, the pub has been tastefully refurbished and is now open daily from 5pm - in the past it was extremely hard to find it open! The bar retains its atmospheric snug area and offers a level of privacy rare to find these days. Three large screen TVs (in three different rooms), put on by request, ensure that everbody gets a chance to watch the match of their choice. The service is friendly and a nice pint of Guinness is served here - my only criticism is the lack of Kit Kat! If you're in the area give it a try.

MORE OF THE SAME!



Took a wander down to the Slaney early this morning and noted that there are now four lifebelts missing and one that is unuseable! Incidentally after the recent heavy rain the river was in full flood.




This attractive, but defaced, seat is located less than twenty feet from the UDC offices and this very dangerous footpath just across the road. The local elections are coming but the same tired old faces are putting themselves forward again - is there any hope for the future???
UPDATE: September 2009 - the broken glass blocks in the pavement have been filled in.
