What the hell is going on with this crowd? Are they buying themselves into a monopoly or what? When did they decide to go into the retail market? Who's behind the company?

They bought out Statoil & Sell Ireland. Management has several former Emo, StatOil & Sell execs.
I think they are focused a lot on expanding the retail sector of the forecourt which is where the profit is.
There is one down the road from me (former StatOil) but not seen that many in Dublin. -

I see they are pushing up their prices over the next week or so also to 147.99! Its amazing the price difference if you shop around. In galway the average price for deisel is 145.99. I go to castlebar twice a week, for work reasons, and go by ballindine where i get my deisel at 135.99, a lot of savings when Im using around 180 litres per week.Comment

It's not just Statoil and Shell stations they've taken over though, I'm sure they have a few Esso garages down here too.
How the hell were they allowed to buy TWO fuel distributors? What was the competition commissioner doing at the time, inserting or removing a finger from his or her nostril?
Prices are 141.9 or 142.9 down here, depending on location.

Agree with what someone said there about tesco fuels. Was in killarney for the holidays a couple of months ago and we went for some shopping. They were offering five cents a litre off when you spent more than €50 on shopping (which was easy enough when shopping for five people). Anyway, the price was 121.9 for the petrol with the five cents off it came down to 116.9 a litre, great value ! Only one tesco in Galway but no pumps !!!!!Comment

They've been refitting several Limerick city stations over the last few days -former statoils on the Dock road and Ennis Road as well as former shells on the Ennis road and New road Thomondgate.
This was announced some time ago. I was a bit surprised there wasn't more about it at the time as it seemed quite anti-competetive.
Cheapest Unleaded I've seen any time lately (1.29) was in an independent filling station out the road in Newport, Co. Tipperary yesterday." I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"Comment

Topaz are owned by ION Equity. It was mentioned are part of small article in the Sunday Business Post.
I have noticed more stations going Independent & these seem to have cheapest price & smallest shops.Comment
That reminds me, the equality, data protection and human rights bodies are going to be merged by the government. Worth a thread here?
