Book store chain Hughes & Hughes is to open three new stores at a cost of €2m.
Two of the new outlets will be in Cork Airport's new terminal, while the other will be in the Pavilion 2 development in Dun Laoghaire. The Dun Laoghaire store, at 12,000 square feet, will be the group's largest.
The new Cork terminal is due to open in mid-May. Hughes & Hughes says there will be 30 new jobs in Dun Laoghaire and 25 in Cork.
The group now has 18 stores and has plans for more over the next two years.
