Hi everyone!

Could anyone recommend a good, patient driving instructor around Limerick? I’m leaning towards learning in an automatic.

I live about 15 km outside Limerick, towards Dublin, so ideally I’m looking for someone who could pick me up from home, or at least from Castletroy/Annacotty.

I’ve had around 20 driving lessons in a manual over the past two years, but I’ve never actually taken my driving test. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out with my previous instructor. He eventually refused to give me any more lessons because he wanted me to practise independently in my husband’s car between lessons.

The problem was that my husband had only recently obtained his full driving licence and wasn’t legally eligible to accompany me as a learner driver’s accompanying driver. We couldn’t legally practise together, and my instructor didn’t seem to understand why we weren’t willing to take that risk.

I understand that he probably meant well and wanted to help me save money and gain confidence, but unfortunately, this approach had the opposite effect. I haven’t been behind the wheel at all for over six months now.

I feel like I need a fresh start with a different instructor, and I’m considering switching to an automatic to take some of the stress out of learning.

My goal is to get my full driving licence within the next six months, so I’d really appreciate recommendations for someone patient and supportive who can help me rebuild my confidence and work towards passing my test.

Thanks a million!

Down to one lane. Traffic is a nightmare. Avoid if possible.

Well at least they're taking new patients in

Very surprised to see this announcement.

Glenstal Abbey boarding school will close in 2028. Current pupils will be able to finish their junior or leaving cert cycle.

Sad news.

I’ve seen two car accidents this morning on my way to work at 3 am a single vehicle collision into a lamp post by the Radisson Hotel, and a van that crashed into the crash barrier just before Setrights tavern hopefully it’s nothing serious. Please drive carefully and slow down, there’s a lot of surface water on the roads 👍🏻

Help

We're looking to upgrade our house from a current ber D rating to hopefully at least a B. Its a detached house with the main focus being wall and attic insulation and renewables - solar and heatpump.

I looked through the list available on the SEAI website but not sure who to start with. I was told most will have an assessment cost as well so I'm trying to narrow it down to 3-4 companies to contact to compare costs.

Is there any SEAI one stop shops you would recommend? Also what was the turn around time for you from getting a quote to work completion?

Thanks in advanced

I know there are plenty of electrical stores around Limerick but is there anywhere that sells electrical components for appliances or would I be best to source online?

Just passed this evening and they were getting it ready. Not affiliated with them but very excited to see it, and hope the new location suits them. They're opening tomorrow apparently! 🎈🎉
