I too am very concerned about the effect of drugs and alcohol in Coalisland but only one thing
will rescue sinful man and that is the proclamation of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ ! He
is the one and only mediator and sinners must turn unto The Lord Jesus and repent of their sin
God accepts no excuses for any sin because 'all have sinned and come short of the glory of God' Romans 3 v 23. How will each person in Coalisland answer for his/her sins on the day of judgement.

I wonder where the Church of Ireland and indeed the Roman church stand on this vital matter ?
Are you reader depending on the righteousness of Christ or your own righteousness ? Listen
to God's holy word 'by Grace are ye saved through faith, not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast' Ephesians 2 v 8&9.

Haha, yes you are right I'm sorry about that, I'm not a journalist nor do I write in any capacity really, I just posted that wee opinion piece there, it was in a hurry if I remember rightly. But I shall reprimand myself thoroughly. And I hope we can all get on with our lives. At least the important issues were tackled. That's a wee joke there.

The standard of written English in this piece is shocking e.g. "In what seemed a long drawn out affair the planning for this supermarket has went back a number of years...". "Has went..."?

I do not have anything against the author; I do, however, cringe when I see supposed professional writers (be they journalists, sign writers, advertisers) not possessing a decent grasp of basic English. It makes for one annoying read!

Bhí na páistí fíoriontach ar fad agus an-chumas labhartha Gaeilge acu - ba mhór an chreidiúint do mhuintir Chairde Uí Néill iad agus gach dá n-oibríonn ar son na Gaeilge sa cheantar.

The children were truly fantastic and had a great command of Irish - a real credit to the work of Cairde Uí Néill and all involved working with the language in the area.

I would love to know how this was decided as both St Patrick's & Dungannon N.S were allowed to have not a 2nd but a 3rd class - something is very wrong about this decision.

Of course regeneration of that area is badly needed, but where did I point out it wasn't? But why another large store. The town isn't that large that there already isn't footfall, and trade, sure isn't Springisland but 50 yards away? I agree that that area does need sorting out, my issue is with the dying local trade. I only asked why it was deemed a good idea? I'm not condemning or condoning anything, just raised an issue. The local business that i was talking about were the likes of the drapery, or Lawrence Dooeys shop. Quite a lot of shops on main street are closed. How could that be regenerated I wonder? That was my issue. I'm not attacking anyone. Your reply strikes me as quite puzzling.

Another issue is the potential for "cannibalisation" as practiced by the likes of Starbucks-too many stores of the same type in a small area, prices cut drastically to try and undercut others and the one more able to weather lower profits benefits when others finally unable to keep up.-the remaining store then ramps up its prices-resulting in higher pricesin the long run along with job losses.

coalisland was a dying town long before newell stores decided to invest.springisland and supervalue closed the smaller grocery shops long ago.Murphy bought over mcglinceys in main st just to get the post office then took them out of main street to the stevenson complex.So it happened long before newell stores came in.The new store will bring trade and footfall back into the town centre so whats the problem David.Regeneration of a eyesore and antisocial breeding ground is a bad thing why?We should be grateful for such investment in the town and no business has a god given right to a monopoly in the town.MAYBE the other supermarkets will up their game and not take customers for granted
