Green light for Dingle project

DESPITE claims the centre of Dingle could become a “ghost town”, An Bord Pleanála has given the green light for a multi-million-euro development at the eastern side of the tourist haven.

Dingle-based supermarket chain owner Tomás Garvey, of the Garvey Group, and Bricklin have been granted planning permission for a shopping, residential and parking complex at Mail Road and Emlagh Road.

The two-floor complex will have 2,529 square metres of floor space, including six shops and a cafe, as well as a Garvey’s Supervalu store, which it is proposed to relocate from its current site at Holyground, Dingle.
