German supermarket retail chain Lidl is to create 700 jobs and open four new stores in the Republic of Ireland in 2023. The new jobs will be in a variety of operational and office-based roles across its network of 176 shop locations, three regional distribution centres and Dublin head office. The new roles will bring Lidl’s total workforce in Dublin to more than 6000 employees for the first time, with 7,500 people employed across the country. Lidl also announced pay increased for staff from 01 March 2023. On average this will result in a 7.5 per cent pay increase for employees, or about €2,000-€2,500 extra per employee annually.
