LISTEN BACK: Insomnia's 'second coming' to Roscommon

Roscommon town is set for a jobs boost with a new Insomnia coffee shop set to open in the coming weeks.

In June, the nationwide chain was granted planning permission to change the use of a former Xtra-vision store in Main Street from a retail premises.

Local auctioneer Seamus Carthy says the fit-out of the coffee shop commenced yesterday and it’ll open in the next four to six weeks.

It follow last week’s news that Esquires is to open a similar outlet on the Circular Road.

Mr Carthy outlined Insomnia’s plans to Eoghan Murphy on Tuesday's Bottom Line.
