GRACEDIEU develepmont....

IV lived up on carrickphierish rd for over 2 years now and all i have seen open up in that time is dixies chip shop just on corner which is welcome (and nice) , further up the road where i live their is houses bein built across well before i moved in ,

Yes i know the current climate and no building work or new investments are happening ,but does anyone have info on plans for the whole area , when we moved in here we were told of big park area and centre with shops , restaurant and cinema , i understand that may be dead in water now , but after 2 years we do not even have a local shop ,

So without car you either got to walk or get bus to super valu or garage i have a car so its not to bad but still i wonder about situation on the area here ,a primetime program a few months ago done a report from one of fields down the road and stated its one n.a.m.a will be dealing with so i take it most BIG development is dead but a centra or spar would clean up around here imo . i read before that lots were planned by council , then we hit recession so maybe we are all doomed in areas like this for another few years .

Yeah there was big plans for the place alright. I heard Dixies is good off some and bad off others. Ya cant bait the Cleaboy though. I think they should put the place back to the way it used to be before all ye feckers came along. I miss the nettle camp and bollockys, the corn field and everything else ye moved in on top of

nah em I dont have a clue whats happening to be honest. They would wanna pull the finger out though,
ya could tell people to hop the wall into hillview and walk upto the shop that way, I scaled that wall when I was pissered. I also couldnt get over it one night so ran through dlofneps side door and woke his mother up at 4:30 in the morning. If your quiet you be grand thouigh

It's a bit unfinished up there alright. I doubt much will go in there for the moment anyway. In a way though, it's still a bit countryside-ish. Maybe it's better that way than load of shops etc cluttering up the area?

I ride out that road and out the old Kilmeaden road during the better weather and it's quite nice. A lot of folk walk their dogs out that way too.

Yeah the staff are great in dixes, a million times better then that sh1t hole super value at the hyper. A shop would be great in the area. The rent must be very high in the units for their to be no tennents yet.

I wish i had the money to invest in a shop up here , it would do some bussiness especially when the schools are built , knowing my luck a tesco would open up next door if i did though

I wouldnt be surprised if it was to close tbh as most fast food places deliver now so its not as if a chip shop is the main thing needed or handy up here a spar or a centra on the other hand and im sure things would be different .

I think obviously the big plans for the area are on hold due to current climate , im talking about a local shop in likes of centra or spar hardly big plans anymore :rolleyes:. Would do great bussiness imo.

I'm afraid Gracedieu is a victim of the cargo cult mentality that was at the centre of our economic bubble.
