New BMW dealer for Galway.

Just saw it in the paper today.

Colm Quinn is to open a new BMW and mini dealership on the Tuam road, planning permission has already been granted for an 8 car showroom with 12 car workshop. Its expected to supply 25 new jobs when open in late 2014.


Its mad how the high end brands are opening new dealerships but the more run of the mill dealers are going bust every second day.. Audi Galway opened last November and from what I have heard have plans to expand, then BMW push back into Galway.

Sign of better times on the horizon?

Surely they won't get planning permission when Renault is still unoccupied? For a greenfield site? This annoys me when half the city is empty

According to the paper its already granted.

Here is the planning application Galway City Council http://gis.galwaycity.ie/ePlan/Inter...num_file=13139

As far as I know the site was last used as a Tyre garage.
