It's time to dust off that CV. 

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg yesterday, and a confirmation was made that Facebook will be providing hundreds more jobs in it's Irish division. 

Ireland hosts the company’s largest headquarters outside of California, and already employs 2,000 people.

The jobs will be created across many different areas. 

'We employ over 2,000 people here now and we have quite a large footprint,'  Facebook's Gareth Lambe told Breaking News.

'We have our International Headquarters in Grand Canal, we've taken another building in East Wall, we are just completing our data centre in County Meath and expanding that, we also last year, made an aquisition of a virtual reality research company in Cork.'

'So it is by far the largest footprint Facebook has in any country outside the US.'

Varadkar is currently in the US to discuss opportunities between Ireland and the States, to grow trade and improve tourism ventures.

Dublin's iconic Bewley's Café has reopened to the public for the first time since February 2015.

The much-loved eatery closed it's doors to make way for a €12 million revamp, and while it was originally thought the renovations would only take six months, the project was later extended.

The newly refurbished establishment, which has the capacity to cater for up to 500 diners, will also play host to a new chocolate factory and bakery.

According to the Bewley's website, many elements of the original café have been carefully restored including the building's exterior and the stained glass windows designed by Harry Clarke.

Once described as "the heart and the hearth of Dublin" by Irish poet, Brendan Kennelly, the legendary café, is popular with locals and tourists alike.

Eager customers were welcomed into the premises on Grafton Street at 11am this morning as staff called on passersby to come in and enjoy all the unique and delicious treats on offer.

Bewley's will open from 11am-5pm today (Wednesday, November 1), and from 7am-9pm Mon-Sun, going forward.

Good news for LCD Soundsystem fans!

The iconic musicians are returning to Ireland for one more concert, after tickets for their sold out series of gigs in the Olympia Theatre evaded thousands of fans

According to social media users at the time, tickets for the gig were unavailable less than one minute after their 9am release time three months ago. 

Tickets for three separate dates in the Olympia Theatre went on sale, and all three appeared to be sold out before 9.01am.

With any luck, their new venue will rectify this issue. 

The band will be playing an outdoor set at Malahide Castle on June 5, 2018. 

 

A post shared by Josie (@josie.nfllsls) on

The venue has a capacity of 20,000 so hopefully this time around, no one will be left ticket-less. 

Tickets priced at €69.50 will go on sale at 9am next Friday, November 3. 

Set your alarms, people.

A record number of people are residing in temporary emergency accommodation, according to the Department of Housing figures acquired by RTÉ.

Figures show that 8374 people used emergency accommodation in the month of September this year.

Almost 6000 of these people are located in Dublin.

This is a drastic increase on previous figures.

Over 3000 of these were children, according to RTÉ.

'Month-on-month, we have seen consistent increases in those presenting as homeless with no clear intervention to prevent these people becoming homeless in the first place,' Inner City Helping Homeless (ICHH) chief executive Anthony Flynn told Today FM.

'This is a National Emergency and needs to be treated as such – the state is failing'

Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy said in a statement: 'Families and individuals continue to present to our emergency accommodation services.'

'There are still 690 families in hotels – while any one family in a hotel or B&B is one too many – this is still significantly down on the high point in March earlier this year, when 871 families were in hotels and B&Bs.'
