Tesco has been granted planning permission for a controversial petrol station at its Letterkenny store.
An Bord Pleanala gave permission for the go-ahead for the Port Road fuel outlet earlier this week.
It brings to a head a planning saga which has rumbled on for more than a decade.
In recent years local businessmen Eddie Tobin, who has a garage at Port Road, and Paul Sweeney who has a Spar at Ballyraine, have objected to the site going ahead.
Permission was granted again last June but the businessmen objected claiming increased traffic congestion and also possible redundancies at their businesses.
However, the objections were upheld and brought before An Bord Pleanala for a decision.
The planning body granted permission to the supermarket giant for the petrol station but with a number of conditions.
