Tesco expands empire with 4th new store this year

It was a special day for a special little boy yesterday as supermarket chain Tesco created 104 new jobs by opening its latest Irish store.

Olympic sprint legend Derval O’Rourke cut the ribbon to officially open the 32,000sq ft outlet in Ballincollig, Co Cork. But nine-year-old Bob Murphy, from the town’s Westcourt estate had the honour of being the first person through the door.
