Anyone got updates on the M9 Mullinavat services?
Nothing happening there when I stopped by a few weeks ago.
Been quiet since they widened the road a few months back. Haven't seen them start to clear the site yet, but hopefully soon.
Drove by the Mullinavat services location there myself a few days ago. Complete tumbleweed.
Yea, passed by a few months ago and nothing! I thought they were actually under construction. Dire need for somewhere between Kilkenny and Waterford in my opinion. There’s three services on the northern half of the road. Let’s hope it starts soon.
Says 20 EV charging spots!
Interesting!
The permission from 2017 must have lapsed, or else they just wanted to bring it up to the latest and greatest standard. But I'm betting that the first woman to walk on the moon will have done so by the time this place opens!
