Killaloe traders oppose new Aldi

Killaloe traders are against the proposed construction of a major new discount store in the town. They say it will result in job losses among existing local businesses.

John Daly, of the Forge General Store, Killaloe, has requested Clare County Council to turn down Aldi’s planning application to construct a new discount foodstore in Abbey St, Killaloe, Co Clare.

Stating that both Killaloe and Ballina were served by three supermarkets and three foodstores, the Killaloe retailer warned that smaller shops in the town would close if Aldi was given the green light.
