Firm seeks planning to build service station on motorway in north Cork

One of the country’s leading providers of motorway services has applied for planning permission to build a major service station in north Cork, on the M8.

Applegreen, part of the Petrogas Group, has lodged planning permission with Cork County Council for the proposed development, near Mitchelstown.

The Cork-Dublin route links up with the M7 in Co Laois.
