It’s hard to not give some props to Luca Records in town. Was back in there today, greeted by Ryan as always the second I came in the door. If I’m not mistaken it’s run by Ryan and his brother and you couldn’t meet nicer lads. A record shop where you can buy anything from techno, pop all the way to New York punk and hardcore aswell as your skating needs with some good coffee. One of the nicest staff members in the town and some small gigs thrown that always kick off and very rarely encounter arseholes at them. Caught my favourite band Civic all the way from Australia in that tiny intimate venue. I hope these boys keep going for a long time. A little independent shop like that is exactly what town has needed. I wish ye all the best going forward and I’ll definitely be supporting ye more as this cost of living crisis eventually levels out a bit. Best of luck with it all lads - Fishy.

I have one extra day of wiggle room in my Ireland trip this June/July. If you had to choose between Mount Congreve Gardens or Lismore Castle Gardens (both in Co. Waterford), which do you prefer and why? It's so hard to tell from photos online if one is preferable over the other.

Anyone else finding it extremely difficult to find a job in Waterford. Currently working in Infosys been here for a little over a year, trying to get out of this horror story of a place but it’s so difficult. Nothing on indeed or jobs.ie. Been applying all over the place for 6+ months only got one interview but the job was part time so couldn’t take it. Genuinely so stuck no clue where to go or what to do, going mental in this place.

Hey Folks,

I was curious here if anyone works remotely or hybrid and can find it lonely/isolating sometimes and would be interested in meeting up?

Just saw this on Facebook. The two brothers running 33 marathons are running in Waterford today. Starting at the people's park 10.30 finishing in Bailey's new street approx 4 hours after.

Try get out and give them a cheer and support.

I wanted to share the exact financial breakdown regarding the state’s current expenditure on international protection, as a lot of figures get thrown around in debates without proper sourcing.

According to official Oireachtas figures and recent government reports published earlier this year, the total state spend on IPAS accommodation and support services reached €1.2 billion for 2025.

who up for painting free palestine on that big rock that John mcloughlin keeps painting over to see how fast he'd paint over it.

I'm tryna see sum.

What is it with the w3 buses breaking down I’ve missed 3 buses in the past couple days with it…..

On Barrack Street where the sirens sing,
You’ll hear ten rumours before anything.
Someone’s yelling halfway down the road,
While a fella flies past on a stolen moped.

And deep at night, when the streetlights creak,
Locals whisper of the Beast of Barrack Street.
Not claws or teeth or glowing red eyes —
Just a lad in a Canada Goose asking for a light outside.

Could we see a return of the King?? New drive thru planned for Mullinavat 🍔 👑 might be handier than Paulstown and a lot closer to the wonderful Deise

I’m a sales rep for Eir, struggling with sales today.
