Planning . Some interesting decisions. Hopefully, Peamount Hospital 100 extra beds will be a Step Down hospital to relieve some of the pressure in our General Hospital. Big Further development of Liffey Valley Shopping Area, one of the places of much controversy back in the public enquiry days. The Belgard Inn to be demolished for a Lidl. The Irish Biscuits building on Belgard Rd., long a land mark in Tallaght to be demolished . It will be replaced by a 200,000 Sq Ft unit for ADSIL Amazon Data Storage International Ltd. This is the third major Amazon building in the Tallaght area for data Storage. It is great to find that our mild climate is a huge bonus for these giant data storage warehouses. While they do not create huge employment, it is better that the jobs created are here than elsewhere and there is considerable employment in the Demolition in subsequent construction phase.
