Supermarkets fail to block new Lidl in Cork town

RGData tried to overturn the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission to the German discount supermarket chain to demolish its existing store in Mitchelstown and replace it with a much larger facility.
An Bord Pleanála has ruled that Lidl’s plans for a 2,680 sq m supermarket on the Fermoy Road, in Mitchelstown, would not adversely affect the vitality and viability of the town centre.
