Tesco Ireland opened its biggest store in Ireland in eight years today.
175 jobs have been created at the environmentally-friendly €30m Tesco Extra in Liffey Valley.
The company said the vast majority of the workers have been recruited locally.
The new store is part of Tesco’s €70m national store investment plan.
It now employs over 13,000 people in Ireland and over 5,000 in Dublin alone.
"Tesco Ireland is really committed to ensuring that our stores play a big part in local communities. We are very proud that the vast bulk of the 175 jobs at this Liffey Valley store are going to local people," commented Tesco Ireland CEO Andrew Yaxley.
"Providing a totally new and enhanced type of shopping experience for customers in the area, we look forward to working with local suppliers and becoming a strong and vibrant part of the community," he added.
