I live near Tullamore and it's horrifying how car-dependent even brand new estates are. My kid goes to school there (we drive, sadly, because I am hell-bent on her being in a secular school and not the local ones) and I was chatting with another dad about grabbing a coffee. We realized the only option even remotely near was an Applegreen a 22 minute walk away. It's a wasteland.
