    Does anybody know why the Ancona petrol station hasn't been selling diesel or petrol for the last couple of weeks in Dungarvan?

    Be a major shame to see it close, there's a lot of guys working there, which is mad considering they have no 'shop' as such.

    I never got fuel there apart from the odd bag of coal, but it is a shame to see any business go.

    Still closed and I noticed 2 fuel pump service vans in there and guys working on the pumps this week - would make me wonder if they are such a brilliant garage?

    i have seen pump service guys three days running, at a major dealership, so i would not take much notice of that.

    Tom,

    Was there cars at the pumps getting fuel when you passed today or was it just people getting coal or briquettes?

    Actually, I'm not 100% sure, I just saw activity there, cars and people. I will be around again on Tuesday I'll take a closer look.

    Anyone got any news? Past by not an hour ago and the place was empty, pumps still off and I couldn't see any other "fuel" anywhere.

    Still no petrol or diesel. I can't imagine how they are still able to stay in business. No one still has any idea why they are not selling petrol or diesel?

    They are definitely the cheapest for gas and probably coal but I won't buy gas bottles that are refilled by some back street place with no seals, it was extra for a sealed bottle last time I asked and even then the calor bottles didn't have genuine calor seals. The price difference was between the cheap refills and the genuine bottles is quite a lot (over a fiver) but as I keep a few full bottles in store I prefer the genuine article.

    Just passed Ancona, open for motor fuel. Diesel is 151.9, didn't notice the petrol.
    One thing I noticed when they were closed was that the price of Petrol and Diesel in Dungarvan. It was always cheaper than Waterford City but when Ancona closed the opposite happened, Waterford prices were cheaper.
    Just noticed that Coolagh garage has brought their price down from 154.9 to 152.9 for diesel, could be just a coincidence.

    What I heard was the license elapsed and when the reapplied there were some conditions which had to be addressed.

    Open since Thursday, delighted for them to be honest.

    The extra cents saved on a tank is a lot for some people, especially on the run up to christmas.

    Glad all the staff are still there!

    Not what it says currently at pumps.ie which is why I asked but that could have been wrong for months (or longer).

    It's listed on pumps.ie as Independent Sexton Street, 151.9 diesel, 152.9 petrol (which is incorrect, it's 154.9).

    That's strange, I was jogging past there tonight and they are definitely selling Petrol.
    Also the diesel has gone down one cent to 150.9

    Went in Sat afternoon to get some coal and there was a sign outside saying "Promotion cancelled by Gardai at 3pm". Anybody any idea what that was about, I only saw it as I was leaving so I didn't get a chance to ask.
