Poundland (which describes itself as Europe's biggest discount retailer) is set to open up 6 stores in the Republic over the next year, with a potential to raise that figure up to 50.
In the UK the retailer (as the name might suggest) sells everything for a pound. They are going for a slightly different strategy here, by naming the stores 'Dealz', they can be somewhat flexible in their pricing.
While the announcement of 180 new jobs is great news in anybodies book, it serves to illustrate how far we have fallen, compare it to 2008's announcement of a John Lewis 'flag ship' store on O'Connell street.
