Lidl gets go-ahead to replace Fermoy outlet

Plans by Lidl to replace its existing outlet in Fermoy with a large, new store have been approved, despite opposition from a rival supermarket owner.

An Bord Pleanála has rejected an appeal by the owner of a SuperValu store in the north Cork town against the decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for the development of a larger store for the German discount retailer.
