I thought we were well beyond the doughnut peak..? I prefer to keep it simple and fresh with the Saturday market doughnuts.

Lidl has been given the go ahead to bulid a discount foodstore and off-license in Moycullen.The mixed-use development at Kylebroughlan also includes two stand alone retail units and five residential dwellings
County planners refused permission earlier this year based on six considerations.
Lidl Ireland appealed the decision to An Bord Pleanala who assessed the council’s concerns, and has now given the go ahead
The higher planning authority has ruled that subject to 16 conditions the proposed development would not adversely affect the vitality and viability of Moycullen town centre
It also stated that it would not impinge on the area’s visual amenities and would be acceptable in terms of pedestrian and traffic safety
The Lidl store is 2,278 square metres and its hours of operation must be 8am to 10pm Monday to Saturday and 9 to 9 on Sundays
The German retailer says the mixed use development at An Fuarán would create 30 jobs.
It will provide 112 car park spaces and 30 cycle spaces

Is PTSB really going to keep two branches within 50m of each other in Eyre Square? - They acquired the old Ulster unit last week
No. They've been saying for months that they're moving into the ex UB unit.
They announced last year, that they had acquired a good number of Ulster Banks Branches, which are closing this month, and reopening (after a revamp) as PTSB branches.
After previously announcing a closure for the Winter season, Loam have now announced they are closing permanently citing "insane" running costs.
