Council Decision Paves The Way For New Aldi Store in Mulhuddart Village: McGuinness

Councillor David McGuinness reports on the decision of Fingal County Council to permit the development of a large retail unit in Mulhuddart Village. The proposed development, believed to facilitate an Aldi supermarket, was the point of some discussion at this month’s county council meeting.

Cllr McGuinness goes on, ‘On my Facebook page, I flagged the prospect of a new Aldi on the site of the former Mulhuddart National school. The contributions were unanimous, the development was welcome.”

‘the prospect of jobs, close vicinity to a value supermarket and increasing activity in the village area were all mentioned publicly and privately,’ added mcGuinness.

Aldi went into Clonee and has been frequented by consumers on both sides of the Meath/Dublin border. If early indications are anything to go by, Aldi in Mulhuddart village could prove popular.” concluded McGuinness.
