    It's the long awaited temporary Tesco store while they knock the old shopping centre.

    The only holdouts other than Tesco are a chemist shop and a butcher. I wonder where they'll relocate...

    That is pure conjecture with no basis in fact.

    As the new superstore will have butchers and pharmacy I'd hardly see them trying to compete from across the road. A few shops tried that in Dublin Street over the years with limited success.

    Anyway, thread is to answer what the work in the car park is and not the future of shops. Apologies mods.

    It will be sad to see the old shopping centre go as it was great in its hey day and just let run down, used to have resturants, nightclubs a pub, cinema and loads of great shops and a mini arcade if anyone remembers in golden discs ;-)

    The poster you quoted suggested they might move there. I can't see any reason why planning permission wouldn't go ahead for that. I do agree about the butchers etc. moving. They would have limited enough repeat buyers so a move is not an option. Although saying that the butchers is beside Tesco in the shopping centre and seems to still do okay!

    Will that bridge be coming down on hill Street aswell?

    Why bother with a temp store anyway? Is the tesco in the long walk not enough to see the town through?

    It wont be coming down although it would be nice, there is a house beneath it and the owner has refused for many years to be relocated etc.

    But to be honest I dont blame him as afterall it is his home.

    Pa's bar and restaurant and the Ashley Arms. The Casino Mini and Maxi cinemas. We thought we were the bee's knees with such a fine shopping centre. And of course we all eagerly awaited the swimming pool that was to be built behind it!

    The issue of relaocation was resolved. Simply a shelved plan due to money. Will progress in the future, in the meantime it would be nice if the old railway track was tidied up as a walk and cycle way or somthing

    For anyone who isn't in Dundalk this is what it currently looks like.

    Some drawings of the finished site EDIT: Not what they are currently building.

    Looks like the Tesco in Maynooth.

    Hang on! You have shown the preparation for the temporary store on the unused car park, with the plans for the new store on the site of the current shopping centre.

    The discussion is with regard to the site works that are ongoing and they are NOT for the Tesco Extra. Just to be clear. ;)

    So what's the temp store going to be when the full time store is finished? Parking?

    I wondered that myself. It would seem a shame to let it revert back to the derelict vacant eyesore it was.

    It's still on the plans for the finished Extra store, so going nowhere apparently.

    On the old rubble strewn gravelly tarmac? I never saw that and I passed it twice a day for over twenty five years! You learn something new every day!
