TESCO WILL CREATE over 500 new jobs in Ireland over the next year, it is reported this morning.
Tesco Ireland says it will create a total of 522 jobs between now and June next year, RTÉ reports.
Most of the new jobs will be in Dublin and Co Kildare and will be part of the €120 million investment in new stores.
The full break down will see 150 jobs created in Cabra, Dublin, 120 in Kildare, 80 in Rush, Dublin and 60 at a replacement store in Roscrea, Tipperary which was originally planned for last year.
As part of the overall investment programme, Tesco estimates that some 757 new jobs will be created across the country.
The supermarket giant also estimates that 548 building jobs will be created during the expansion drive.
In April, the company announced 172 new jobs, also at stores in Kildare and Dublin.

This was no accident. Those pigeons were radicalised.
Journal its called a bird strike..
@Paul: The pendants are out in force already.
@Seamus Mc Meel: Sorry,pedants!
@Seamus Mc Meel: or idiots…
Why didn’t they land safely in the water and make a movie about it???
I was in Naples & Capri few years ago & it was fabulous….dine daily wine daily and merry!
@Thosj Carroll: thanks for that.
@Thosj Carroll: Well Done.
Were Dick Dastardly and his co-pilot Muttley flying the plane?
@O Swetenham: Well if they were flying it they more than caught the pigeons this time round..
Coo L
Flocking hell.
They’d only been flying for 20 minutes? How high were those pigeons supposedly flying, if they were hit 20 minutes after take off?!!
@The Thinker: Must be a hoax so
@Matty kinevan: Not saying it’s a hoax of course. But badly described, or some information is missing.
Airports have a variety of bird control techniques to reduce these types of incidences. Noise machines, gun sounders etc.
@Paul Foot:
Not planes I hope ;o)
Glad all are safe.
@Paul Foot: cats would be good
I was flying back home from Edinburgh last October. Huge swarms of migrating geese were right over the airport. I think they sent flares up to divert them.. but as a nervous flyer I was bricking myself. Thank god the entire crew forgot to turn up and the flight was delayed…by the time the pilot turned up the geese were visiting the Sassenachs. Ryan Air, what can you do.
Some poor lad had his racing coup wiped out anyway…. few hundred/ thousand euro gone…
Does anybody know did the pigeon die?
@Shawn Rahoon: It’s fair to assume that they did
A flock of seagulls – ba doom tisss…
@Craig De Barra: Are you having a stroke?
@Matty kinevan: nope – you’re probably a bit young to understand that comment, or bereft of a sense of humour
Sully, is that you?
Wishing I had a photograph of that…
@Oisin Conroy: There are videos on YouTube of tests for this scenario being conducted. They fire frozen chickens out of cannons into the running engines. It’s pretty spectacular.
@Matty kinevan: I have to ask, why are the chickens frozen?
@Rui Firmino: Don’t know I never asked :-) I presume to keep them from just flying apart upon exiting the cannon
@Rui Firmino: So they won’t go off,duuh!
I suppose the HSE are buggered now saying that, (more or less demanding that,) we all get the FLU vaccine.? AIR LINGUS will be on strike next now, demanding a pay-rise for their expertise in dealing with bird flu contamination.!
@Michael Kelly: How about learning to spell the name of the company before trying to go on some pointless rant?
Any news on how the birds are doing?
Northside pigeons awful trouble makers.
@Ní Maith Liom Eva: swing and a miss
have your say
