New Blanchardstown Shopping Center 2021 Updates?

If you have damage, ideally you would have taken photos on the spot.

If you don't, photograph it anyway now and get a quote for repair from an insurance authorised repair shop.

Send copies of the photos and the repair quote by registered post to the centre manager and ask for an undertaking within 7 days from him or her to pay for the repairs or you will apply to the small claims Court for restitution.

If the quote is above €2,000 you cannot to go the small claims Court, so in that case tell them you will give the matter to your solicitor and that the Centre management will be liable for all legal costs.

I was looking for the right forum to have a vent about the horrendous driving around the shopping centre roundabouts. This looks a good spot 😊

Case in point: the roundabout beside Liberty Insurance https://goo.gl/maps/1yY8zLg11PHFFAMc7

I live in the area and always go straight through this roundabout towards Tractamotors garage. But, you'll see from the image that there are two lanes - left turn only and straight ahead/right turn. The amount of times I've had to slam on the brakes as drivers in the left turn only go straight on and nearly cause a side-impact collision into the one lane. And, not a bother out of them. In fact, one guy waved in a 'come on' motion to get out of the car for a row!

Tell me I'm not the only one who comes across this?!?! I'm really sick and tired of the ignorance of these people.

Actually didn't realise you first obeyed the road markings before the "rules of the road". But yeah, I'd most likely be in the left lane going straight too. Anything to the right of the middle of the roundabout would be the right lane.

Not sure why we get so many roads with markings that differ from the regular rules you have in place.

For roundabouts, the rules of the road give a default approach to lanes and exits unless otherwise locally stated. At the roundabout in question it is otherwise locally stated, so the markings are legit.

But the misuse of the indicated left lane there is an issue, it could do with a small ghost island lined with thin bollards to force traffic left once they're in that lane.

Another roundabout that has a similar arrangement (and only on one approach) is the Millennium roundabout by Power City. Heading south on Blanchardstown Road South the left lane is marked with a left turn arrow. Again, many ignore it. At least in that case the roundabout exit is two lanes, with merging shortly after due to 24hr bus lane on the section down to Clonsilla roundabout.

Unit 114 - the old JD sports unit opposite M&S

A reflection of the state of global investment in commercial retail generally.

Salsa Jeans has opened in the SC according to Blanch Facebook page. Assuming it's the same company, I remember buying a tshirt from Salsa in the centre years ago. I wore it for years and it had the logo on the front of it which is probably the only reason I remember the store being there.

Lego store to open up in the centre. In October...

Great news! I'm guessing it might be located in the old Disney pop up store as the shoe shop that was briefly there is also no longer trading?

"Flagship" Peter Marks opening up in the spot where JD used to be near Marks and Spencer

There's still two there now. I think the one near Dunnes might move over too the new site. Ive seen few of them done up all mod an trendy (pop art) As some will remind to be the classic PM.
