    Delgany is tiny, off license, pub, shop, don't know if it needs any more.
    Can be congested as people use it access N11

    Delgany had 3 pubs but now 2 and even 1 of them is not doing much business.
    There is a grocery shop,a great butchers shop, coffee/sandwich shop, 2 pubs, 1 off licence, Estate agency, small garage and filling station. A C. of I. church and primary school just outside the village. Delgany golf course is close to the village. There is a small health centre. A Carmelite convent in the village with R.C. church. Lots of houses in the area but the village has very little safe parking cos of the narrow roads and the fact the village is situated on a T junction.

    It really is a tiny place, what kind of shop are you thinking? It's cool if you don't wanna say.
    What about Greystones? That towns coming on in leaps and bounds since a couple years ago, it's a beautiful community. And it's just down the road really. Could be worth investigating? Only disadvantage is I think it really has just about everything!

    plenty of vacant shop units in Greystones at the moment, you might be able to haggle a good rent. I wouldn't open a shop in Delgany, its a very quiet spot.

    I agree. There are one or two decent shops in Delgany including Farrelly's, an excellent old-school organic butchers, but the place is such a PITA for general access and parking (unless you're one of the 'couldn't give a damn, just stick it up on the kerb on a double-yellow on a bend' merchants this country is full of) that I just can't be bothered. Greystones is a much better option IMO.

    As above, nice village, but I would'nt even consider shopping there as parking is unavailable.

    Hey I know this is an old Thread, but someone has just opened a shop, restaurant, bakery, flower shop in Delgany. It's called The Delgany Grocer and is located in one of the old pubs. I have yet to visit, but have heard great things about it.
