Baltinglass

But he's now 75.

He's originally from Baltinglass in County Wicklow, and he says he will be going back there to join his brother and some family members.

But he also recalls how, given the length of time he's been in Port Arlington, he has baptised children and then went on to marry them years and years later.

So he steps down and a replacement has already been confirmed.

Ballywaltram were up to standard and were providing a good service.

So going back to your question, Mark, when you're at Wicklow County Council, and there might be an issue in Baltinglass or there might be an issue in Arklow, You have an interest in it because you have a say in it, okay? And I think it's important that we all inform ourselves about issues around the county because we do have the power to make a decision.

But a lot of the time you would be led by what the local councillor says about something, you know? Of course, yeah.

Now, the officials in the council who are not elected but basically run the county...

There's over 100 roundabouts in Portlaoise, Andrea, so you're probably stuck in one of them.

But Gillespie's SuperValu in Baltinglass posted this online during the week, and they've kind of been so surprised with the reaction they got.

They said anyone, like, who's after, I suppose, forgetting to collect their child, or they're stuck in traffic, or a child has missed a bus or something like that, they can call into their SuperValu store, Gillespie's in SuperValu, and make the phone call to the parent, or wait around for the half an hour that it might take for your mother or your father to finish work to get to the shop.

It's somewhere warm, somewhere where someone'll look after you, they say.

Mm.

A familiar fray, face because Gillespies have been there, there years.

They're kind of a family-run business down in Baltinglass.

It's a genius idea.
