Hi ladies!

Can anyone recommend a really good hairdresser in, Meath or Kildare who actually specialises in cutting hair?

I'm honestly so fed up with paying good money for awful haircuts. I recently got my hair cut into a lob, and to say it's uneven would be an understatement. The stylist didn't even bother checking the cut afterwards to make sure it was level.

I know some hairdressers are brilliant at colour and blow-dries, but that doesn't necessarily mean they're great at cutting. I'm specifically looking for someone who's exceptionally skilled at cutting, has a great eye for detail and can give a really precise, well-balanced cut.

I'm more than happy to travel and pay for someone who's genuinely worth it. I just want to find a hairdresser who really knows how to cut hair properly!

Would love to hear your recommendations, particularly if you've had a consistently great experience with someone.

Thanks a million! 😊

Bit of a hail mary here but I'll give it a go anyhow...

I've my drivers test this thursday coming and have been practicing with friends the last few weeks, but no one is around the next few days before this test.

Was wondering if any kind (and particualrly bored) soul would be up for being my accompanying driver for any period of time in the coming days? Based in Ratoath and would compesnsate you with a chipper of your choice and stories of my travels

we’ve had no luck getting a contractor or builders to come back about quotes.
I have gotten an electrician for a rewire and a kitchen all sorted but I need someone to do carpentry work, a plasterer for after the rewire and then someone break open a wall and install an rsj.

I’m based in east Meath, few minutes from north county Dublin and it has been so bad for getting someone to give a price or even come out.

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated??

17 M literally anything i always ask and people just say ‘see the castle’ or ‘go on a walk in the porchfields’ when ive been doing that since i’ve moved. Is there any cool activities or things to see in trim and surrounds

Hi there,

I was wondering if someone local could tell me if the Garda station in Ashbourne is typically open on a Saturday? I live abroad but I have a form that I need to get signed by the guards, and I will be in Ashbourne for a weekend in early November.

Thanks all!

Anyone know where any of the challenges were filmed? I heard the sheep chasing one was at Causey Farm but no idea other than that!

Examples could include things like Funshaughlin, Boggermeen or Dubleek... (never minding how common they are necessarily!)

Im looking for an artist or graphic designer who can collaborate with a creative writing group on an ad hoc basis. I'll need help with a logo and occasional leaflets. I would much rather pay someone than add to the Ai rubbish thats out there. DM me if you can help.

Edit to add, I would ideally love if it was someone I could meet in person with on occasion, especially for the initial logo design.

I recently read an article in the Meath Chronicle about Meath County Council (MCC) tenancy rates, and it really made me look into this further.

The figures are quite shocking. MCC calculates social housing rent at 25% of a person's income, with a cap applying in certain circumstances. The Meath Chronicle article highlighted how this can leave single working parents paying considerably more than tenants in other local authority areas, including Fingal and Louth.

What I find particularly concerning is the difference between councils. Why should two people on similar incomes, living in social housing and with similar family circumstances, potentially pay very different amounts simply because they live in different counties?

There also seems to be a significant difference in how single-income households and households with two adults are treated. The Meath Chronicle highlighted the example of a single working mother paying up to €195 a week, while a household with two working parents could have a higher income but only pay an additional €10 because of the cap.

Some local councillors have already raised concerns about this, but it doesn't appear that MCC is interested in changing the system.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing from people who have dealt with Meath County Council tenancy/differential rent rates. Do you feel the system is fair?

Hello, dad of a 6 week old here. My wife is attending a course in Drogheda Saturday week and I’ll be looking after the baba while it’s on from 9-6.

We’re not from the area and we’re driving and staying near Slane, so I’m putting together a list of places I can bring the baby/things to do to pass the day. Baby obviously can’t do much at this stage, I’m thinking more like nice walks or places to bring them in the carrier/buggy?

Any and all recommendations welcome. Thanks!

Lads wheres the best Trad Music Pub in Meath? I am willing to go anywhere for a few pints and decent music to settle my soul.

Preferably not just one man and his guitar!!

Edit- For Saturday nights!

Pretty much what the title says, anywhere to buy second skin for a tattoo in Meath? Tried a few places today and couldn't get it

No full rewires, new builds or large jobs requiring certification
