A round-up of today's other stories in brief

Petrol station on market

LISNEY IS seeking €800,000 for a former petrol station and retail premises at Dock Road in Limerick city centre.

The buildings extend to 198sq m (2,127sq ft) and stand on a site of 0.15 of a hectare (0.37 of an acre), with extensive frontage onto Dock Road. There is a paved forecourt area and six underground fuel storage tanks.

Traffic along Dock Road has increased significantly since the opening of the Southern Ring Road and the Shannon Tunnel. The site has full planning permission for a multi-storey mixed retail and office development with a floor area of 6,087sq m (65,520sq ft). However Lisney believes the immediate potential uses are as a petrol station, or retail outlet or for other car-related businesses.

The property is being sold on behalf of Pearse Farrell of receivers FGS Partnership.
