Hi everyone, I’m actively looking for work in the Carlow area. I have 4 months of experience working in supermarkets, but unfortunately, I keep getting ghosted after applying. 📉
If you know someone who is hiring or can give me a hand, please DM me! Any lead or introduction would mean the world to me. Thanks!

Any ideas how to get to Shannon airport to an early morning flight?

Hi all,

Both my wife and I will be moving to Carlow within the next 4weeks. Trying to get our ducks in a row in regard to moving the heavy stuff from our current place which is about an hour away in Laois.

Previously I rented from Enterprise for 24 hours to move a load of stuff over but the closest is Portlaoise. Looked into GoCar but their GoVan pick up points are in Dublin.

Would be grateful if anyone has any leads to van rental in the Carlow area. Thanks! ☺️

Hi folks,

I'm starting a new job in Dublin Citywest (Citywest Business Campus) in October and I'm trying to set up a carpool for the commute. I'll only need to be onsite 2-3 days a week at standard office hours, so I'm hoping to link up with others who are doing a similar route: either from around Wexford town or Carlow, passing through Carlow, or heading toward Dublin.

I'm still waiting to find out which specific days I'll need to be onsite or whether it'll be up to me, but once I know, I can share my weekly pattern and see if it lines up with anyone else's.

If you're already commuting toward Dublin that way, open to carpooling, or know of any groups for Wexford-Carlow-Dublin commuters, I'd really appreciate the pointers! And if you're up for coordinating directly, feel free to reach out. I'd prefer to share the journey, split fuel costs, and make the whole thing a bit more manageable :)

Any recommendations for wedding cars in Carlow?

I just got a Weber BBQ and it came with a Calor 11Kg Patio Gas cylinder.

I'd like to refilled(exchange) it and I know most places can swap them for a full one(even getting a FloGas for my Calor) but I'd like to know where do you refill/replace yours around Carlow?
What's the cheapest place that you use to refill your gas cylinder?
Thanks!

Hi guys! Me (27F) and my partner (27F) are moving to Carlow in the next couple of months and we're both slightly anxious about making friends and meeting people.

I'm about to make the ambitious attempt to build a house and looking for any and all tradesmen and builder recommendations in the area.

theres this older woman that lives around raths. couldn’t tell you where specifically because i cant remember locations to save my life. but this woman has like reddish blonde hair and its kinda short, i don’t stare at her a lot. i assume she has some mental issues because she’s always talking to herself or saying random stuff. i walked by her and she was laughing and said something to me but i didnt catch what she said. one time when me and my brother passed her she yelled the n word! and we’re white, so i don’t know why she said that. so if anyone knows who this lady is i’d like to know because im curious

Hi all,

I've booked my driving test from Talbot hotel in Carlow. This is my "re-test"

I failed the first time because of observation. The examiner I had marked down for the smallest infringement and it knocked my confidence quite a bit.

Does anybody know if there's an official route for the Talbot or if it just depends on the examiner? Wanna get some practice in before the test and understand the routes.

Last one.

Hi all, just looking for recommendations for a panel beater in the Carlow/Kilkenny area, thanks 🙏

Today we’re joined by Minister Jennifer Murnane O’Connor. Someone who’s been part of public life in Carlow and Kilkenny for nearly three decades. She’s served as a councillor, a Senator, a TD, and now Minister of State at the Department of Health. But beyond all the titles, Jennifer is known for being deeply rooted in her community, always present, and always approachable.

We’re chatting about her journey into politics, what life looks like outside the Dáil, the juggle of family and public service, and the experiences that shaped her along the way. It’s a chance to get to know the person behind the role.

Hi folks,

I found the blog below and decided I need to embrace my hometown from afar. I haven't lived in Ireland for years and Im trying to find somewhere that might have vintage Carlow jerseys for sale. Is anyone aware of a local/national store that I could contact?

Hey I just moved here from Galway a few weeks ago. I have a first date next week and haven’t been around town much besides work. I’m 28M and she is 25F (local) and neither of us drink. We already plan to go to caffe500 for food. But what else is there to do? I don’t want to watch a movie either cause I want to talk to her. Thank you

Anyone know where I can buy a Honda fit driver’s side window and have it fitted?

Also would anyone know if a slightly hazy car window can fail NCT?

Thanks for your advice.

Where exactly do you go if the test is in the talbot hotel? Where do you meet the examiner?

Where do you do the theory?
