[8] The Ross Abbey Town Centre Shopping Complex was built in 2008 at a cost of €7 million and was sold in 2013 for €225k.

[9] In 2017 (nearly 10 years after the complex was completed) the discount retailer "Mr Price" opened a unit within the development.

[10][11] Other businesses subsequently opened there, including a barbers, café, beautician, gym and a Tesco Express outlet.

[12] It never opened, due to the failure of Dunnes Stores to take up its planned anchor tenancy,[13] and (as of late 2023) remained closed.

[14][15] While containing no retail outlets, part of the development has housed a local library and county council office.
