Sad to hear of Tasty bread closing.

Larry's main business is industrial sales so I don't think closing the shop will worry him.
He has a big bakery out in Finglas

The employees are the ones I would be worried about.

Looks like Tesco on Prussia Street is to be redeveloped

That sounds like a great redevelopment, hopefully it goes through. I can see lots of objections, even though increasing density and adding student housing(close to new DIT Grangegorman, or even further afield since the site is on the 39 route to TCD/UCD) is badly needed.

An Aldi or Lidl always appears ten paces from the other, crazy really.

Lidl are moving toward being a higher quality & service brand, the new store at East Wall is a good example of what they can do with a large selection of fruit, veg, and onsite bakery. I don't envy the security staff though.

I know one of the local TDs was objecting to student housing in DIT, as he didnt want them "ghettoisng the neighbourhood". Which I think is ironic considering close to DIT is some of worst social housing in the country ie O'Deavey Gardens. Most objections to planning is illogical.

There is nothing wrong with the density proposed. Students rarely drive cars, the area is well served by public transport and other services.

That link for the Tesco reevelopment said the building would be razed and a close to 600 bed student apartment building be created with a Tesco on the ground floor. It does sound a bit insane to me, some parties there with the cheap off licence downstairs.

Muahahaha

Jaysis, 600 students living above a Tesco, imagine the rush for 10pm

Most purpose built student accommodation now is about €200 a bed per week. It is mainly being filled with students from Brazil or Saudi Arabia who are actually here to study as their Governments are paying for them to do so. They arent partying all much at all. Most student accommodation has a ton of onsite security who limit/reduce anti-social behaviour

Drumalee is across from it. I would rather live beside 600 students hands down, than that Drumalee which is pretty much under Garda control due to the gang feuds. Drumalee is a dodgy kip

If we are going to prevent student housing under on the grounds of possible anti-social behaviour, then DCC should be forced to break up the ghettos of anti-social behaviour they have created in the city eg Drumalee, St.Stephens Green flats. Instead DCC is just replacing bad housing with better housing, leaving the areas to have the same problems as before

Just to update on this if anyone's interested, the Hanlon's Corner store is opening next Thursday.

It's going to be disastrous traffic wise unless they have a plan of action, cars trying to turn right into the car park along with the big white van and few cars which park on the road opposite it.

Look forward to this opening as the Lidl in the Blanch center is a nightmare...not sure where the parking is going to go for this one though

Yeh I think that junction (which is already a nightmare) is going to cause havok.

Round the back of it. Seems to be a fair few spots.

If this is an alternative to Blanch, would Glasnevin not have worked?

Leaflet came in the door this morning (in Cabra), they're having a 4 day sale to mark the opening.

There was also a loyalty card for the shop in the leaflet which will work for the next seven weeks on certain offers.

I reckon the shop will be mobbed on thursday, so I think I'll wait a few days to visit.

I took photos of the leaflet so you can have a look yourself.

The building is large and they've managed to tastefully blend it into the local housing, brilliant.

I'm just happy I'll only have to deal with it on the odd weekend evening when going to herselves in Blanch!

89 spots I think the sign says, on the side of it. Basically where the PH Ross Yard was.

Unless its going to be monitored that car park will be a model for people who work towards and in town to park up and walk/bus the rest of the way in.

Exactly. You'd imagine they'll have a third party clamper operating tbh.

Yeah it will be needed anyway. Its already rife around Cabra East/Phibsboro and is expected to become worse when the Luas starts.


Anyway that pressure washer looks appealing at that price :pac:

They usually are monitored, apparently if you're there over two hours your car gets towed.

Some more info in advance of tomorrow's opening.  The half price laptops sound tempting - wonder if they are a reliable brand!

sweetie

Yeah, it's handy for me. 3 mins walk

I see there's a unit on the ground floor up for rent.
