I absolutely agree with you Just-wonderin. It just shows once again how detached our local authorities are from reality of what people want.

Look at our nearest neighbour; two Aldis for years now, another one over in Tullow, another being built out in Bagenalstown; and guess what is happening; people are driving to these from Kilkenny as they are to Tesco as well. The choice just is not in Kilkenny. Lidl in Thomastown was delayed for years thanks to some planning red tape.

I am frankly sick of it. I really like Aldi as a store. Such a pity we are continually deprived of the choice here. I'll just keep going to Carlow.
