Pre-planning meeting scheduled with Dunnes Stores over Waterford's Ferrybank Shopping Centre

Progress is being made on Ferrybank Shopping Centre, as a pre-planning meeting has been arranged between Dunnes Stores and Kilkenny County Council.

The site has been a topic of discussion for over a decade, following delays in Dunnes Stores moving into the dormant space.

Last week, Director of Services at Kilkenny County Council, Ian Gardner, revealed at a meeting of Kilkenny's Piltown District that the meeting is expected to take place in the coming weeks.

“The development of a pre-planning meeting would come across as being very positive,” Mr. Gardner said.

Last month, Senior Executive Officer Marie Phelan said at the Piltown meeting that Kilkenny County Council officials had "positive engagement" with senior management of the Dunnes group in recent weeks.
