Go-ahead for new Aldi store in Skibbereen

German discount store Aldi has secured planning permission for a 10,000sq ft (929sq m) supermarket in Skibbereen.

An Bord Pleanála (ABP) granted permission for the development at the Fairfield in the West Cork town centre this week with revised conditions attached.

The store will bring the number of supermarkets in the town to four — alongside discount rival Lidl, Spar, and Field’s Supervalu.
