    Not far, just a further bt up the road toward Genzyme. It's going to be on a better, wider stretch of road.

    The original plan for that road was great, mini-mart, coffee shop, internet cafe, chipper, etc. Recession put a stop to all that I'm afraid. :(

    Who is "they"? The council doesn't open and run shops. If a business person sees a market there, they will open one.

    If you reckon there's a market that nobody else is serving, why don't you open a shop up there yourself?

    There was definitely talks about facilitating a new town which was to be built up there. Schools, shopping centre, housing etc. DLS and Roanmore GAA clubs developed facilities up there as well expecting to have communities form around them.

    I suppose the city council will have a role in urban planning and that's where their involvement would have come in.

    Area was called the North West Suburbs, and there was a specific area development plan created for it. The city council put in infrastructure like roads and water (all there), facilitated ducting for telecommunications (All done and in place) and facilitated the under grounding of the overhead lines. Oh, and they built 2 housing estates. But all the rest, the shops etc was developer lead and then 2007 happened.

    I thought the shop units were in place though? Isn't/wasn't there a chipper there?

    Yep, that's the solution to planning issues, murder. Glad you cleared that up.
    Moron.

    Instead of showing stupidity like that, why don't you actually look at the plans for gracedieu.

    What are you talking about? There is no McDonalds opening up in tramore?

    I was always surprised that people were willing to put up with the wlr mast in their back garden putting out kilowatts of power.

    i would'nt buy a house or build a school there.

    Maybe they know how the inverse-square law applies to electromagnetic radiation?
