Limerick/Gort service stop battle heats up

Forecourt operator, Applegreen, has moved to get ahead of Supermac’s and be the first to provide a motorway service stop along the M18, connecting Limerick to Gort.

Earlier this year, Clare County Council granted planning permission for Supermac’s to develop an €8m fast food/motorway service outlet on the M18, outside Ennis.

However, rival, Applegreen, blocked this by appealing the decision to An Bord Pleanála.
