I think that having one in Belfast and one in Dublin is one too many as it is.
I know that there are people who go there for a "day out" but that is not the key revenue for Ikea. It's all about going there and spending at least €500.
There should be one in Dublin and that's it. Accessible in two hours from both Belfast and Cork on the motorways.
What's all this?!
Does it actually matter one iota to terrontress or anyone else if there is more than 1 Ikea in the country?!

Is it any funnier then IKEA currently being near the Ballymun flats?
I dont think it will wipe out local businesses. It will be a big hit for a while but from a stock point of view their lines are limited and don't change a whole lot, people won't want their houses all looking the same.
There you are wrong. I have friends with businesses in the local area and they are already struggling to keep their doors open with Tesco expanding into non-groceries and the specials in Lidl and Aldi often selling at cheaper than my friends can buy them. One of the businesses is over 40 years old, has a long history of great customer service and loyalty...until now, even the most loyal are being led by their pockets. It's so sad.
Ikea don't only do the big furniture, think of the toys, kitchen supplies, bedding...they would hit so many different businesses.
