Ballyhackamore Credit Union has been part of the local community for a number of years now. Offering a great service to local people and others from outside the area. TheMembership of this branch has grown steadily over the years and continues to grow as more and more people make use of its facilities .
The Ballyhackamore branch was formed in 1967 with assistance from the Derry Credit Union. The driving force was Father PJ O’Hare of St Colmcille’s church in Ballyhackamore. The first Board meeting held in March 1967 consisted of Jerome Dawson, Val McMurray, Jimmy O’Reilly, Myles McCormick, Jackie Brown, Tom Fleming, Brendan Small and Paddy O’Kane.
Early business was conducted in St Colmcille’s Parochial Hall and finally in 1969, the service moved to newlyfound premises of 171 Upper Newtownards Road. In 2002 new premises were opened at 171-173 Upper Newtownards Road.

Il Pirata is Ballyhackamore’s latest addition to the growing eating establishments. Sited in the former KFC (almost opposite Horatio Todds, it offers simple rustic and Italian food, served up in a spacious and vibrant environment. With its cool, trendy interior, it promises to be very popular with the many visitors who come to Ballyhackamore seeking culinary delights.
It offer a great variety of Italian food, from bruschettas and salads, through to bigger dishes such as Salmon and pork main meals. It also provides a selection of ‘smaller plates’ for those with a more ‘pickish’ nature. It’s also licensed, with a good range of beers and even cocktails, so something for everyone
Il Pirata certainly looks as if it will be a firm favourite with the local foodies. Opening nights saw almost a full house, savouring its buzzing ambience. There are no bookings, so its a matter of just turning up .

I am a customer with the Northern bank At Knock. The one thing that really hacks me off about this branch is the number of times you go in and find 1 or 2 staff manning the counter when it is painfully obvious how long the queue is! . Often there will be a queue of 7 or 8 people, standing shifting from foot to foot, as the ditherlingly slow and understaffed Northern bank cashiers serve.
Its infuriating, standing there waiting for sometimes up to 15 minutes to get ‘served’. Meanwhile you will see other staff float about, and you feel like screaming - ”Are you stupid? Can you not see you need at least one more person on the counter?!”
What kind of an bumbling idiot is the manager, if he can’t take a quick glance over and send another staff member to the counter to help out. It’s terrible service and it almost tempts me to leave the Northern Bank, if I got the time to do it.
Just wondered how many other local customers get totally hacked off at the incompetent service you get at Knock Northern Bank.
