Conditions could delay Ikea store until 2010

Conditions could delay Ikea store until 2010

Ikea, one the best-known brands across Europe due to the success of its flat-pack furniture, will locate its new store just off the M50 motorway in Ballymun.

The company originally hoped it could open the large, 30,600 sq² facility in May 2008. However, An Bord Pleanála has ruled that the store cannot open until the upgrade of the M50 near Ballymun is completed, along with work on access roads to the store.
