    The Applegreen at Lemybrien is flying along now, canopy and all up today. No real branding done yet but it actually looks like it could be open quite soon.

    Don't really understand the fuss about this. There's already a station in Lemybrien, one just after opening in Kilmeaden, and several in Dungarvan. Apart from the capital expenditure on building the station itself, how exactly does this station improve the local economy? Is it going to somehow increase the demand for petrol/diesel in the locality?! It'll probably result in the closure of the less salubrious roadside station within a year or two, or if not it will fail to sustain itself. Either way no net gain.

    There was actually two stations in Lemybrien until the site where Applegreen is going was bought and levelled. So it's not as if it's a new thing in the area there was always two petrol stations there.

    i would'nt see applegreen as being a good thing either unless there planning on being open 24hr, there fuel may always be cheap but they make up for this in there stores with regard product pricing

    I can't believe the s***e on this thread!
    Talk about a service station opening & calling it 'job creation'
    Oh FFS!

    That going to turn the county around overnight!
    It will stop emigration & encourage mass immigration.
    Property prices will increase & new car sales will go through the roof.
    We'll have a baby boom & new schools will need to be built to accommodate all!
    We'll have new investment structures from the banks in place so we can all make a mint
    & think back to the good olde recession & laugh about it.

    If a f**king petrol station is the limit to what people can see or want for this
    county then we're well & truly f**ked.

    They are talking about 55K new homes needed for Dublin.
    Add in to that the additional cost of providing public transport, roads &
    all that goes along with it, will amount to a tidy sum.

    What's keeping all the eggs in the one basket regarding Dublin?

    In the grand scheme of things, we have 200 highly paid staff at B+L being let go, with the remainder of them losing around 15% of their income, which would be a much larger % of their disposable income.

    Misconception and not factual
