More than 300 jobs are coming to this five-star Irish resort & golf club

Around 300 jobs or more are set to be announced at Adare Manor hotel and golf resort in Co. Limerick.

The castle was bought for €30m in 2014 and has since undergone a massive makeover.

The owner of the resort, Limerick billionaire and horse racing owner JP McManus, has visions of turning the old green into a Ryder Cup-worthy golf resort, with aspirations of hosting the competition there in 2026.

At 11.15 this morning, the new jobs will be announced at a 'special reception' in Adare Manor, which will be attended by the Minister for Jobs and Enterprise Mary Mitchell-O'Connor.

The jobs are rumoured to be in construction, reception, customer service roles, as well as beauty therapists and lifeguards for their new spa and pool.
