    You'll find Dunnes and Supervalue objecting to planning permission is far more affective for them then facebook :)

    Not a fan of tesco. They have killed numerous town centres in uk and will do the same here.

    I don't think tesco is as good value as people think bar their special offers. But i still think that their presence in kilkenny would be a good thing, plenty of people including myself use the online delivery or drive to carlow to shop there.

    My god, monsters!
    How many were killed, was it quick and did they use kitchen implements that were on special offer.
    Don't worry, even if they do get here our government will use our taxes, like they did to prop up zombie banks and insurance outfits, to subsidise the former monopolists.

    yawn.

    I've started shopping in Tesco in Carlow already so what difference does it make?

    As if a facebook group ever achieved anything.

    I would have preferred Tesco in McDonagh junction instead of Dunnes, but we're here now. I'm not sure Kilkenny needs another supermarket.

    Kilkenny is still the only county in the country with no Tesco and I really think we have to ask why...

    We know why cus Dunnes has blocked them time and time again. Really not a massive deal as the one in Carlow will deliver.

    You make a point, and for that i commend you. Still laughing at the fabulous kitchen implement gag even now. So much so, it woke me and just had to check my rib cage was still in tact, it is.

    So your response to the whole tesco debate is a ilthought out pointless response that has no basis in fact, Tesco isn't all its cracked up to be.

    If you think Tesco is the cheapest supermarket overall and is the be all and end all of everything I'm afraid your mistaken

    Thats hardly a real impact in the world,
    Given that Sony Music owned both rage against the machine and that x-factor guy they won either way, so it changed nothing in reality as it only had the "perception" of change.

    Heh Cabaal

    What about the post I was responding to, did it have enough facts for you?

    Competition is good, Tesco does not provide all I need but even with fuel included it makes more sense to drive to Carlow than do the same shop in Kilkenny.

    If however you prefer that I shop in Dunnes and Superquinn in Kilkenny then I'll happily let you subsidise the extra expense of doing so, just send me your bank account details.

    Economy does not seem to be your central concern so there we could agree to differ. Without knowledge of my shopping requirements your criticism seems subjugated to a unexplained prejudice. Care to enlighten us?

    Monopolies can be bad for society. There's a very good chapter in Adams Smiths Wealth of Nations on the subject. I highly recommend a read of it if you seek more meat on the matter.

    Competing ideas are good too, or do you disagree?

    BTW, that Rage Against the Machine incident, although slight, has far greater implications for how society uses new media to effect change to the perceived established forms. Who owns the revenue stream from the incident was never the point.

    It was the point if Sony pushed for the compaign to be created, but that we'll never know.

    In relation to the shopping whats wrong with Aldi?

    Cabaal, I never mentioned Aldi so why do you imagine that I think there's anything wrong with them?

    This thread is about the absence of a Tesco in Kilkenny.

    Why are you prevaricating?


    I concur with your point about Sony, we may never know.

    It's been an oft expressed view on the Kilkenny Forum that poverty of thought has led to the kind of planning decisions that leave us with two Dunnes and no Tesco.

    To typify that poverty of thought, the last few posts were exemplary!

    Well done.
