Retail development to bring over 350 new jobs to Waterford

A €440 million shopping and residential development which will provide at least 350 new jobs is to go ahead in Co Waterford, after objectors failed in attempts to have An Bord Pleanála block the project.

The development, which will comprise a major shopping complex with Dunnes Stores as the anchor tenant, will be located on a 43-acre site, where Glanbia was formerly located, close to Dungarvan town centre.

It will also include apartments, a restaurant, night club, four-screen cineplex, and will have car-parking facilities for several hundred vehicles.
