    Maybe its a control unit for these. Or just some big ass lockers.

    Edit: oops that image may need resizing

    They're probably just future proofing for when no one can afford to run a car but we'll still be expected to spend our money "at the pumps" to maintain the Govt. coffers. :pac:

    More realistically, might it be a new way for them to offer an all-hours unmanned Prepay option for their pumps? Is the station 24hr already?

    Its not 24 Hr at the moment, But I wouldnt have though a prepay machine of that scale would be required. Its massive.

    There's one in Topaz, Abbeyleix as well and as somebody stated there it's a parcel drop off point.

    Presumably it's linked to a courier company?

    often used by sales reps for replenishing stock, or other logistics requirements.

    makes things a lot more efficient and ensures that Joe rep pops into his local TOPAZ and buys stuff as well as diesel.

    It's all about revenue folks.
