Ballina town councillor Willie Nolan has claimed that the emergency services are being adversely affected by the new traffic layout in Ballina which has caused a lot of problems in the town since it was implemented last week. “I have been informed by members of the emergency services, especially the fire service, that they are quite concerned about the new traffic layout and how it could affect them,” the Fianna Fáil town councillor told the Mayo Advertiser this week. “You have the situation where members of the fire service are at home and get a call to come to the station to collect the tender to go out on a call. At the moment they are highly likely to come into one of the major traffic backlogs that have built up in the town and it will delay them getting to the tender. Then they also could have to go back through the traffic to get to the call they are going to.”

Sixty-six per cent of drivers have found their car scratched or damaged in a public car park. In only four per cent of cases did the guilty party leave a note or come forward to own up. In 96 per cent of cases the motorist is left to pay for the damage or make a claim against their own insurance. The findings are contained in an AA online poll of 800 motorists countrywide.

My visit to Cava dissipated two preconceived ideas that I had about the menu. One, the idea that the tapas dishes would be small little nibbles similar to what you get at a bar counter in Spain and two, that the menu would be limited to the typical array of tapas that you might find on the Costa del Sol. Neither proved to be the case, the portions are quite large indeed, very often as big as a typical main course, eg, my cured roasted duck leg served with baby potatoes fried in duck fat was of a size that would satisfy most appetites, and the selection is absolutely spectacular. JP and his team seem to have found some of the very best tapas dishes from around the world and recreated them with 100 per cent authenticity. Suffice it to say that the tapas here are much better than anything I have been offered in the touristy parts of Spain. It is worth saying that my initial impression of the menu was that for tapas it seemed expensive, however, from the size of the portions and the inventive dishes I have to say the opposite is the case.
