Penneys planning major expansion of store in Limerick

Representatives of the company have indicated they will seek permission for the major development which will see the company move into a unit which up to now has been home to Tesco Ireland's non-food offerings.

Developers have two weeks to furnish Limerick City and County Council with further information relating to this application.
