Carrigtohill Shopping Village

City centre has dramatically changed from 40 years ago. Despite the exponential growth in population around the city, that would have meant huge pressure for more retail outlets had there been no hollowing, vacant shops abound and if it wasn’t for fast food outlets it would be even more dramatic. But hey, if you don’t want to see that knock yourself out.

Are you saying in your ideal world all new retail outlets would have to be based in the city centre?

Except of course when you want to pop down to your local supermarket chain in Douglas to do the weekly family shop because it is too inconvenient for you to go into town.

Yes, Sports Direct have gone in upstairs and Frasers will be taking the ground floor unit next year.

I'm sure they will do very well, there are a lot of people living at that end of Mahon Point.

Not at all. What I'm saying is that the claims that retail being situated in the fringes of the city, or indeed beyond, will be the death knell for shopping in the city, is a claim that has been made for 40+ years and while there has been a deterioration of the number of shops in the city centre, it's not been the armageddon forecast by many.

And it's not too inconvenient for me to go into town at all as it happens, but thanks for your concern on my behalf

When SD were announced as Cork kit sponsor I was horrified, but the jerseys actually look savage. The SD logo fits in well on them.

Not a fan of these shopping villages. Lifeless souling sucking hubs for branded stores.
