    Don't think adverts is where the big players in property development look for their next purchase!

    I heard for the third time that Dunnes has delayed paying the money it owed to pull out and that nothing can happen until this is paid.

    Thought I read somewhere that they might rent it out for a movie production - as it could be quite handy for a post-apocolyptic/zombie film centered around a shopping centre. Although that's been done numerous times already.

    I could also have read it on the April Fools - so don't quote me here :confused:

    LOL I was afraid to post it as I thought it was an Aprils fool, or a Bacchus inspired thought.

    John Paul construction the company that built it are back on site finishing off their snag list. Dunnes have paid the 20m owed to Holtglen the developers. When asked about the project Dunnes said that no decisions have been made about the future of the centre.

    I don't think this place should have gotten planning permission, just like TK Maxx.

    However, TK Maxx had a much better location. If you were travelling from somewhere like the industrial estate to the Dunmore Rd, you could nip into TK Maxx on the way home. Or if you lived near Lismore park it was handy enough if you had a car.

    The advantages of these places to consumers is you avoid the city centre. To get to this Ferrybank place you have to drive through the centre, and then drive some more, to get there. It was destined to fail.

    I wonder what it could be used for? Underground rave?
    it was intended for the people of south kilkenny,south tip,and south wexford.

    No it was intended as a rate grab by Kilkenny Co Council, otherwise it would never have gotten planning using any model Financial, sustainable, or any other

    Should be demolished. Hogan squandered €750k on a library there, when one of the top libraries in the country is a bus ride away in Lady Lane.

    Will never open, Tesco/Dunnes/SuperValue are all in consolidation/contracting and will be for many years as Aldi/Lidl continue to gripe the market and it wouldn't suit them.

    Read the exhaustive and exhausting thread,I am not going through all of the pros and cons again.
    To add a further nail to its coffin , the day of the ultra large store is over as can be seen by the decline of Tesco's fortunes, people the world over have changed shopping patterns and only want medium size supermarkets where they can do their shopping in 40 minutes not an hour and a half.
    Its a Celtic tiger developer led , banking gamble that no one wants anymore , they need to either find a completely different use for it or knock two thirds of it and give Ferrybank the medium supermarket with 6 or 7 shops it requires and always required.
    Anything else is wishful thinking.

    I don't know but someone somewhere might have an idea on what to do with it.

    Just letting it there mostly empty and really of no use is not right.
