ALDI Ireland has announced that it will reopen its store in Clifden, Co. Galway, which closed almost six months ago due to damage caused by Storm Éowyn on Thursday next, July 3. As well as the necessary repair works, the store has been fully refurbished to include the addition of a new in-store bakery and self-service checkouts. This move is part of ALDI’s ongoing commitment to providing high-quality, affordable groceries and a vital place of employment to the people of Galway.

The Minister acknowledged the hardship experienced, particularly in the west of Ireland, including areas close to his own constituency of Galway east.
