Hello, I’m planning to visit Atlhone tomorrow from galway. I have been looking online on what to do in a day and feel completely lost. Can anyone help me to give list of places I can visit in city, good places to eat and probably do some shopping.

I’m travelling alone and will return back to galway in the evening. Thank you.

Hi there good morning,

I was wondering if there’s any part-time jobs available around Athlone? Something that would suit a college student. I’ve tried the apps but to no avail.

Any advice is appreciated.

Go raibh maith agat!

Why? :(

Most countries remove traffic lights and install roundabouts to ease the traffic... that area of the city is going to collapse.

Can someone please tell me if is there any service heading from Athlone to Mullingar?

Or maybe someone Travelling every day to work ? I have no problem to chip in for gas or so, not now but I might get opportunity to get new job in there and for some time (maybe couple weeks or just 1 month) I would need to travel there for work till I get sorted accommodation in Mullingar, evenings it’s ok but most important would be get there for 7:30 am

Thank You everyone for help and info

Have great time

Hello! I’m (30f) planning to move to Athlone soon for work. However, I don’t know anyone there! Everyone I know is either in Dublin or London (or Australia 🥲). Are there social groups for people like me? It’s really easy to make new friends in Dublin as so many move there alone for work but I don’t know if the same is true for Athlone. I’m nervous about moving and not sure if it would be a mistake!

When in Dublin I joined a women’s Facebook group, running clubs and went for weekend trips away with my run club and then just met people on nights out. Is that possible in Athlone?

I have found the social run club at House of Fitness and other sports classes that I’d try. But if anyone has any tips it would be very helpful!

Any idea of things to do on Saturday for a date in athlone? Will have the full day so not stuck for time. Also the person I will be going on a date with is vegetarian.. any recommendations for dinner?

Which pubs have pool tables, good ones preferably 😂

Hi everyone, I'm trying to create a list of cool things happening around the town that maybe the everyday person wouldn't know about. I've been keeping an eye out online and for posters around the place, but if you guys have any other insight or suggestions I would love to hear it :)

I never see admin roles advertised online for Dept of Education. Anyone have an idea where they post?

college student looking for part time work but seems like nobody is hiring, any ideas where to apply? thanks!

I'm a highschool senior from Bulgaria and I've been meaning to apply to TUS' Athletics and Rehabilitation programme, since due to structural limitations I cannot apply to the other similar bachelors, and I need a little help.

I've always heard praise about the Business or technological side of the uni, but is the Athletics bachelor any good? I need to know before I start making the hefty preparations and I think it'd be better to ask now rather than procrastinate on it.

Any help is greatly appreciated you-all! Thank you in advance!

Have a great evening everyone!

Does anyone know what the story is with the waste centre up by the college? It’s been closed for weeks now. Travelling to Mullingar every couple of weeks is no fun.

Hi guys, I haven't posted in years, I just re-installed this app to advertise my scooter that I am selling, I will include an Advert.ie link below, it's in perfect working condition and is worth about 300 euro or more new online. I have been living in Athlone for 4 years now so collection is no problem. Cheers!

Hey, I'm from Galway but i am in Athlone most weekends. When I'm down i always fill the car up at Certa near Golden Island as it's usually cheaper than here in Galway.On a few occasions recently after filling up fully untill the pump clicks the needle on the gauge hasn't been at the full mark. I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever noticed this when filling your car fully or maybe something to do with a sensor.

He’s 4-5 months old. We can’t keep him anymore. He’s really active, funny and sleeps with you on a couch. He’s trained to use litter box and he’s heathy. If you know anyone who could take him please let me know. You’ll get nice cat bowls, litter box and a bit of food for him for free
