Wetherspoon to spend €15m on central Dublin site

British pub group JD Wetherspoon is to spend €15m on developing its controversial site on Dublin’s Camden Street.

The site, which will house a new pub and 98-bedroom hotel when completed, faced numerous objections before finally being granted approval earlier this year.

Work on the project, which will create 200 jobs, is formally set to begin next February with an opening date slated for early 2019.
