And also good news from Eamonn Lacy, uh, who is telling us that, uh, new life is to be brought to Marketplace in Clonmel with the opening of an ice rink in the former Superquinn premises there.

The Guardian, and we are in Nina today, so it's, uh, it's a good thing to have a look at the front page of the Nina Guardian.

Also, on the Nationalist, uh, we're reading that further gaming centers, uh, plans for Clonmel town.
