That was bought originally and flattened in preparation for a new petrol station as a joint venture by (I believe) Paddy Murphy Macroom Haulage and McCarthy's Glenview Motors. As soon as the bypass was announced that was put on ice. Maybe its them who are at that?

mercedeslimos wrote: » They sold the site up New St to applegreen, probably got a decent offer. Noticed since then, their fuel is no cheaper. About 10c a litre in it between Macroom and Killarney. They also have the DOE centre out beyond Teerbeg so I'd say they knew that if they held on they'd get a decent prime spot. Hopefully there's more than just a deli in the new place.

mercedeslimos wrote: » Hmmm, wonder where on Gurteenroe that is. That parish stretches from where Pat Mac's pub used to be to about the Auld Triangle I think. Certainly, be no harm, they could really do with an HGV pump too. We only have Circle K cards with work and trying to get 46 foot of bus into the one by Kelleher's wasn't happening for me

aisling86 wrote: » I live about 700m from the new bridge on ballinagree Road. So delighted there's no slip road there. Will be interesting to watch the new bridge at kilnagurteen go up. The road at clonfadda is closing from May until September so you can't use it from the Bell Inn down onto main road.
