Aldi’s application to extend opening hours at its Ennistymon store has been appealed to An Bord Pleanala.

That’s despite two objections to the plan – one from former Clare Mayor Flan Garvey, and the other from local resident Brendan Garrihy, who said late night supermarket activity would lead to additional noise, and that he has already been greatly impacted by the development.
