A much-awaited decision on the Aldi store planned for Boyle, has been delayed by at least two months.
An Coimisiún Pleanála was due to make a decision on Monday.
The German supermarket chain applied for planning permission to build an Aldi supermarket and refurbish five houses on Patrick Street.
Roscommon County Council granted planning permission, subject to 36 conditions, in January.
