Almost 300 jobs are being created in two separate projects in Dublin and County Louth.
220 new jobs will come from a new Tesco store in the Rathmullan Business Centre - near the M1 motorway in Drogheda - which was opened today.
Meanwhile, 50 new jobs are being created at a technology company in west Dublin in an investment backed by IDA Ireland.
The 50 new software and electronic engineering positions will come over four years at Synopsys, which is expanding its research and development operations at its Blanchardstown facility.
