How does that work if a development company build a shopping centre before the shops go in? Businesses may pay now, once they take up a retail space, part of the management company fees may possibly include parking, but certainly not at planning permission stage - sure there was no shops there at the planning stage.

The Showgrounds should never have received planning permission. The entrance is a nightmare and causes absolute havoc on the Davis Road and the surrounding streets. They also should have an entrance from the Showgrounds to the free carpark - people park where its convenient - whether that be driving round and round to get a spot outside the front door, or outside a local resident's house.

Look at Tesco, all the parking directly in front of the building - uncomplicated and plenty of it - that should be the gold standard.

There's a free car park there. All they had to do was provide access directly to and from the showgrounds, preferably vehicular access, and they have another 200 spots available. No forward thinking.

Where would you suggest the people who currently use the free carpark park? It’s full most days already.

No its not full, I live beside it and there is always parking there. Some days are busier than others, but I've never seen it full.

The point I was trying to make is that they had options and chose the most convoluted way of accessing the shopping centre. With a bit of foresight, they could have increased the access to it.

A fun question maybe a good quiz question.


" Where is there a roundabout in Clonmel where no rules apply.

It was the very first roundabout in town. It is not a pimple on the road there are three entrances on to it.

near the hospital ?

At the mall?. Rules aside it seems very few people use roundabouts correctly anyway.

Legally there are no rules on this roundabout.

the one inside the grounds of Poppyfield ?

The Bull ring in Ard Na Greine by any chance?

I never heard of it closing since the first time it closed.

I thought it was Euro giant that was going in there.(Think I heard it hear)
Dealz have two stores in Wexford town so it is possible!

As far as I know it's a second Dealz store, the one in town centre is clearing up
