Re: Re: Habitat Building, College Green

Not sure I’d agree with the term ‘discount foodstore’. College Green is definitely a set-piece in the city, but the uses of the buildings is only a small part of that equation. If Lidl can afford the rent, then great. It’s high time a fuller range of services existed in the city centre, and a fuller range of supermarket options- there’s M&S, Dunnes, etc., so why not the rest?

And I don’t live in the cc but I’d use it, say, on the way home, as alonso noted.

If they get the treatment and finishes right – agreed, signage is key – then I have no issues.
