Ten new jobs at Nutgrove

TEN new jobs will be created at the Old Nutgrove Centre in Rathfarnham early in 2013 thanks to the opening of a new DIY store.

Independent retailer, Pat McDonnell Paints, announced details of the venture and expressed confidence that the new store would be a success.

The company already has six outlets around the country, employing 80 people.

“We’re delighted to be finally opening in Dublin,

? said Pat McDonnells’ Director Aidan McDonnell.

“The business has changed radically over the past number of years with an increasing concentration on the domestic market while the professional trade market has also become more focused on quality private work.

“Householders are still anxious to maintain their properties to the highest levels possible and we’ve seen major success with our free home colour consultation service. I’m really excited about bringing this and more to Dublin.

?

The new store will be located next to the old Rathfarnham Fire Station and will open in early February.

Pat McDonnell Paints was established by Pat & Cora McDonnell in Cork in 1977 and now has two stores in Cork and one each in Kerry, Galway, Kilkenny and Athlone.
