Aldi is finally coming to Graig

AFTER years of speculation and anticipation, Aldi is coming to Graiguenamanagh.

An Bord Pleanala granted permission on October 19, giving the retailer the thumbs up to proceed with their plans for the construction of a single storey discount foodstore, off licence, including signage, car parking and all associated site works. The original permission granted by Kilkenny County Council was appealed to An Bord Pleanála who gave it their consideration in recent months. Councillor Peter Cleere says he expects it will benefit the whole area, including other businesses. Work is to start in early 2018.
