DCU and Aldi commissioned research and have found that appeals concerning new supermarkets being built are delayed by up to 91 weeks or 20 months. This according to Aldi costs consumers €78,000 in total a month. Anthony Foley Dublin City University's Professor Emeritus of Economics joined Joe on the show with more on this.
