Retail giant Penneys is planning state of the art logistics centre outside Newbridge

Retail giant Penneys is planning a state-of-the-art logistics centre for its parent company Primark outside Newbridge.

Dozens of jobs could be created with the proposed €75m facility which will span a massive 500,000 square feet and sit on a 38 acre site at Great Connell off the R445.

A planning application on the proposed facility is expected to go before Kildare Co Council soon.
