Marks & Spencer plans for Tralee store shelved

RETAIL giant Marks and Spencer & has shelved plans for a Tralee store after An Bord Pleanála gave the thumbs-down at the weekend.

The company is expected to rapidly progress its plans for the creation of an 80-job store in Killarney — where the town council has already promised an open arms welcome.

The long-running row in Kerry’s county town had followed a local council decision to refuse planning for an M&S store at Manor West retail park, on the edge of Tralee.
