Where is Lidl ?

maggiemay

Hi All,
I'm new to limerick and have tried to find lidl twice and got lost both times.
i come into the city from the dublin side (i live near newport) and previously i came in as far as homebase and took the first exit on that roundabout at parkway (thinking childers road was out there) but i havent been able to see lidl, am i looking in completely the wrong place

when youre at homebase, keep going towards Roxboro/Childers Road, its pretty much a straight road except a few roundabouts

Well firstly bypass Limerick altogether.................................only kidding. !!!

directions from the Dublin Road Annacotty Roundabout,
Take the bypass signposted Cork and continue until you come to a roundabout. ( about 4 miles )
Take the Limerick option on the roundabout and you will arrive at a T junction with traffic lights. (this is Childers Road).
Take the left filter option and you will see LIDL on your right after about a half mile.

Hi, your idea of using the Lidl directions is great and visually very attractive so I had a quick shufty.
After looking at the map and the directions it seems LIDL have got it totally wrong !
They suggest coming in through Charlotte Quay and Rutland Street, which is totally out of the way. They also have a mistake in the map showing the Southern Ring Road as part of Childers road. ( MIles out)
Do you think Maggie would be better off not going through the centre of town?

Then sorry about this! Didn't checket if it's true what they are saying. Never trust the internet!

LIDL is apparently using their http://www.mapandguide.com software. Blame them! ;-)

That map is completely inaccurate, prospect hill should be the rosbrian road.

LIDL never do anything right, I should know I worked for them...:rolleyes:

maggiemay

thanks guys
i looked at the lidl site before i attempted the journey last time and i got so confused. does anyone know the directions from homebase cos i go past that every evening ?

thanks again:)

Maggie,
coming from the Castletroy Road turn left at Homebase at the Parkway roundabout. Go straight through the Tipperary road roundabout, straight through the Kilmallock road roundaboutand straight through the Roxborough road roundabout. Continue straight on past the traffic lights, pass the railway crossing and about 1/4 mile further on you will come to some more lights. LIDL is visible on your right.

Very soon, and on the way to LIDL, you will be able to pop into the new ALDI .....

mind you, if you get lost going to LIDL, then you will surely get lost trying to find ALDI, because they are on the same road

maggiemay

just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU !
i went to lidl last night and didnt get lost, i saw the aldi too, and i went into the tesco in roxboro, man thats a dangerous carpark:eek:

thanks again for all your help though

scuba steve

was the aldi open?
