A planning application is due to be lodged to redevelop an abandoned site in the heart of Clonmel.
Market Place off Gladstone Street has been the subject of vandalism and anti-social behaviour in recent years having once been a busy shopping district.
A planning notice has been erected at the site with speculation that office space is planned at the former Xtra Vision side of the site while its understood a care facility is proposed for the Superquinn building.
Local estate agent and County Councillor John Fitzgerald says owners Remcol have been doing their homework.
“They’ve done a lot of research on what’s required there and what would work there and what end users might use there – in other words rather than just thinking of creating space and fitting it out and then leaving it empty again.”
