I I remeber correctly there were 3/4 spaces for the commercial units directly outside the units and these were removed with the widening of the road there. I'd have a wild guess that the 4 spaces across the road were provided by the council in replacement to those outside the unit. In that case they are private car spaces and can be used. If you wnat to find out, call the planning section of DLCC and they will conform for you - far better getting the information than assuming and getting in a knot over it.

Checked several of their links and only saw prices displayed per dozen -very telling. Having to actively hide your prices speaks volumes... I do feel a little sorry as I believe the likes of tesco are selling their below cost at 1euro for 5, but some of these places could be on a par with them quality wise, people are ready to dismiss "cheap" donuts as utter crap while in blind tests they might not tell as much (just like mainstream beer dismissal/snobbery).

Stephen15 wrote: » Well what could go in there really. It's too small for a Lidl/Aldi too big for Spar/Centra and anyway there's a Centra and a garage just down the road. A Tesco Express might work but locals will probably object due to parking issues. There's an Off Licence down the road too so that's probably out of the equation. That narrows it down to a Donnybrook/Fallon and Byrne type shop which is possible either that or the units will be divided. Also another one of this threads great dileamas what's happening Shankill SC is Lidl still going in.

Stephen15 wrote: » ted1 wrote: » Some people don't like change, considering there is no supermarket in Shankill you'd think they would welcome it I reckon its sometimes because of snobery that people object to Lidl/Aldi and if it was a Dunnes, Tesco or Supervalu going in they wouldn't be so quick to object.

Of the others that are below par, Stillorgan is getting an extension, it's been a long time since I was in Clondalkin and yes, it seemed grubby and cramped. So was Rathmines. Perhaps it's down to individual management teams?
