Actually doesn't look too bad although a food court petrol station with 3 food kiosks is probably not suitable for a village where they are trying to discourage car traffic. It is hard to see the need for three more fast food outlets in the village. There is a station just outside Trim that has a similar set up and it does work quite well.

Happy to see that they're doing something with the village but I'd prefer to see it turned into a proper village main street. A row of businesses would suit the street better than a petrol station.

Isn't there already a petrol station beyond the garda station? Great to see new development on the Main Street but a garage is better suited in a peripheral location.

Yes there is. This one might be easier to access as traffic beside the Garda station is terrible.

I don't love it but anything would be better than the current Ryan's Garage which adds nothing and is a serious eyesore plunked right in the middle of the village.

the petrol station by the garda station is beside a 5 way junction. Getting in or out can be a nightmare, and it has a very small forecourt

Plus don't forget topaz in mulhuddart is being rebuilt from the ground up

That should be interesting

That junction is due to be upgraded - not sure if it will have an impact on the station itself but as the road is due to be widened it may well lose some space.

How many service stations is too many?

The one discussed in the village, there's the new services on the N3 before Mulhuddart, the Topaz within Mulhuddart itself being renovated, a lot of money spent on the Texaco at Blanchardstown Corporate Park, the new Maxol across from it that recently opened, and there's land beside the Carlton Hotel advertised with planning permission for a service station.

It's as bad as Starbucks within the city centre.

Just getting new pumps etc, the shop building is staying the same.

Plus Topaz in Coolmine, another in Hartstown and Applegreen in Clonsilla.

Pass it daily, have been able to look in a few times while waiting at the traffic lights, the building is definitely still there they don't seem to be touching it. They'll need a new canopy etc. Unless they're adding an extension on the back but I wouldn't be certain. Surely they'd have had to get planning permission for all this?

Does anyone know if Ryan's garage closing down for good or just moving?

From the aldi etc carpark you can see metal beams so must be some building going on.

Be mad to close it for months to reopen with the tiny shop that was there

According to the planning app (FW16A/0189), they're only changing the underground storage tanks and the fuel dispensers. No mention of anything happening to the building.

Madness,all that time to be closed losing business and you dont add deli/hot food or other stuff people now want in a petrol station

January

Yup just got this back from their fb page.

Hi,we are working towards a re-opening date of 2nd Aug - the works were actually to the forecourt not the in-store services. Hope that helps! Thanks, Kate

jack presley

I presume it's a space issue. They can't expand the building to the rear as, looking at the PA drawings, that's where the fuel storage tanks are

They're waiting for a breakthrough in technology thus allowing breakfast rolls to be served through ballistics glass.

It looks like Costa Coffee are opening another café in Blanchardstown going by the above jobs advert. I  wonder if that will be in the village or in the actual shopping centre.  There is already one in Westend Retail park near Lidl.

I think this might be going in the unit beside AIB were the new off license has gone in.

Anyone know what the story with the Vineyard is?

Carvery is gone, was told no food until the new owners had refurbished it.
