Listing historyNotable events

Revenue's renewed-liquor-licence register lists licence ref TRP0713 as a Publican's Licence (7-Day Ordinary) for THE SWANKY BAR at TARBERT in CO. KERRY with PATRICK JOHN PRENDERVILLE as licensee.[1]

In 2012, the Kerryman reported that a “Farmers’ Fair” was planned at Tarbert’s Swanky Bar (June 16, 2012), including events such as a milking competition and a “wellie drinking” competition.[2]

The Kerryman also reported later in June 2012 that Tarbert’s Swanky Bar held its first “Farmers’ Fair”, describing a night of competitions and prizes.[3]

In 2011, the Kerryman reported that a Movember event took place at The Swanky Bar in Tarbert, where moustaches and beards grown by local men were shaved off to raise funds.[4]

What the Boards.ie trail is useful for

These cards turn the raw forum trail into practical page leads: gossip, character texture, time depth, source depth, and review warnings where the match pattern is broad.

overmatch_review

Big archive trail, needs match review

Boards.ie produces 54 readable matches for The Swanky Bar, but the name or hit pattern is broad enough that PubHub should treat this as a source-mining queue before writing stronger lore. The links still preserve useful public memory leads.

Best Boards.ie memory leads

The Swanky Bar has 54 readable Boards.ie memory signals around old memories, stories and gossip, local colour, regulars and characters and atmosphere. The strongest current lead points into "where is she?"; PubHub should keep it labelled as forum memory, then use corrections and source review to turn the best fragments into fuller local stories. The character lane is especially useful here, with 4 regulars-or-room-texture signals.
