German store set for go-ahead in Kanturk

AN astonishing 7,000 people signed a petition supporting it, and now it appears the people of Kanturk are going to get their way.

Several planning applications have been turned down for supermarkets in the town, but Lidl has finally made a breakthrough.

Locals who wanted more competition in the town have welcomed the move after Cork County Council cleared the way by voting for a material contravention to the County Development Plan.
