Planning permission has been sought for a 24-hour Applegreen in Mullinavat, Co. Kilkenny.
If approved, the service station will be situated just off Junction 11 on the M9.
The planning application includes space for two food outlets, one with a drive-thru.
There would also be a coffee area, a seating area, and an off-license.
There are also plans for a major section to be designated for electric vehicles.
This includes 20 electric vehicle charging points and fuel pumps for cars and HGVs.
The application also seeks to build a footpath into the village of Mullinavat to allow safe access for pedestrians.
A decision on whether or not the work will go ahead will be made in February.
