Pub operator JD Wetherspoon is to open three new pubs in the Republic of Ireland in the coming months.
The company is to open The Great Wood in Blanchardstown and The Old Borough in Swords, both in Dublin, as well as The Linen Weaver in Cork.
At present Wetherspoon has two pubs in the Republic of Ireland; at Blackrock (above) and Dun Laoghaire.
The company is to invest more than six million euros on developing the new pubs and will create approximately 150 jobs.
Wetherspoon has also acquired a number of other sites in the Republic of Ireland.
Its chairman Tim Martin said: “Our first two pubs have proven extremely popular and we are looking forward to opening our next three pubs.
“We have also acquired a number of other sites in the Republic of Ireland and look forward, in due course, to developing and opening them as Wetherspoon pubs.
“We are also continuing to look for good sites across the Republic of Ireland.”
