Thats great news!
It will be interesting to have a motorway service station for the first time in Ireland. 🙂
But in my opinion i’d only like to see one on each of the main inter-urban routes .
As Ireland is still a small country and these stations could further suck the life out the bypassed towns and villages.And I really feel the monasterevin is an arsed location for the sevice station considering its only 40 mins drive to Dublin, I believe this is part of the monopoly of the Dublin area or some local developer
. Its pointless stopping or having it hereThe whole idea of it is to service long distance traffic that need to stop on a half way point, between to major centres of population,in my mind. :confused:
They should have it soutwest of Portlaois near the new toll collection area.

Spot on Dave its called locational justification; to my mind any point in Co Kildare is too close to Dublin unless there are too be multiple motorway services all over our Dual Carriageway network.
Potlaoise would have a made a better location; there are significant environmental concerns of a location around Monaterevan due to its proximity to the hydrology feeding both the Barrow SAC catchment and the Pollardstown Fen SAC catchment.
