A discount retailer has chosen the county Tipperary town of Clonmel as one of ten towns where it will open a new store as part of its expansion process.
300 jobs will be created by retailer Dealz through its expansion plan which will see new openings in Clonmel and in counties Waterford and Louth.
The company already has nine shops across Ireland and employs more than 300 people.
The latest opening takes place later this week in Mullingar and the rest are due to come online later this year.
