THE HISTORY OF LIDL IN IRELAND
LIDL first opened in Germany in 1973.
Back then, it employed just three people, stocking 500 product lines.
The first Irish store, located just off Molesworth Street in Dublin, was opened in 1999.
This was Lidl's first entry into the Irish grocery market.
Then, Lidl opened more stores in 2000, in Limerick, Letterkenny, Mullingar, Athlone, Cavan, Ballinasloe and Portlaoise.
Now, the retailer has over 180 stores and three distribution centres, employing over 6,000 people.
They work with a network of more than 260 Irish suppliers from the communities they operate in.

Betting tax increase in budget could raise €53m while higher vehicle levies also examined in tax strategy papers
Boosting betting tax in the budget would raise up to an extra €53 million a year for the State, according to Department of Finance officials. The tax take from betting almost doubled to €95 million in 2019 from €52 million the previous year, after the Government increased the rate on all bets placed in the State to 2 per cent from 1 per cent. Increasing the rate by 1 per cent would add a further €53 million a year, while adding 0.5 per cent would yield another €26.5 million, the department's Tax Strategy Group (TSG) report states. Government would collect a further €800,000 if it increased the tax on the commission earned by betting exchanges, which allow customers to bet against each other, to 30 per cent from 25 per cent, the report added. READ MORE But it cautions that those estimates depend on 'the betting market continuing as normal in 2025 and 2026″ with neither bookies nor their customers changing their behaviour. [ Income tax dilemma for Government as VAT cuts could cost €1bn Opens in new window ] 'It is understood the burden of such additional tax increases would mainly impact large bookmaking firms,' it said. Along with the increase in 2019, the Government introduced relief of €50,000, meant to ease the burden on small independent operators, whose share of the market has shrunk rapidly in recent years. The report suggests increasing this relief to €65,000 should the Government decide to boost the tax rate. However, it adds that Revenue officials argue that this would benefit only a handful of businesses, while it would add to the challenge of getting EU state aid approval for such a move. The report notes that three big businesses dominate the market. Although it does not name them, they are Irish-based giant, Flutter Entertainment, mostly through its subsidiary Paddy Power , Boylesports and UK-based Ladbrokes. A Health Research Report found in 2022 that problem gambling had fallen over the previous eight years, but still hit more than 135,000 lives in the Republic. Revenue figures show that betting is growing, but moving increasingly online. In 2019, customers wagered €28.9 million in cash and €23.5 million digitally, including €1.8 million with betting exchanges. In 2023, digital's share was more than €55 million, of a €102.7 million total, while punters bet €46.6 million in cash. Separately, a 1 per cent increase in the higher rates of Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) is one of the budget options outlined by the TSG papers. It says that if applied across the upper VRT bands – 11 to 20 – covering the price of new and imported used cars, it 'would affect only cars with above-average emissions' and could raise €28 million based on 2024 registrations. The group also suggests increasing the NOx surcharge on new and imported cars by €5 per mg/km, potentially generating another €15.5 million. On Benefit-in-Kind tax (BIK), the paper proposes creating a new zero-emissions category, with rates ranging between 6 and 15 per cent, depending on annual business mileage. A higher VRT rate of 15 per cent is also suggested for vans and light commercial vehicles emitting more than 260g/km of CO2. This would sit above the recently introduced two-band emissions-based VRT system, where the top rate currently stands at 13.3 per cent for vehicles over 120g/km. The TSG notes that future reforms could include emissions-based BIK rates for vans, potentially retaining the current 8 per cent rate for low-emission models, with higher rates for those over a certain CO2 threshold. The latest TSG paper revises a proposal made last year on an additional VRT surcharge based on a vehicle's weight. Modelled on a system currently operated in France and Norway, an additional charge would be imposed on vehicles above a certain weight threshold, with various potential reliefs for the likes of fully-electric or hybrid models. The TSG states: 'It is well documented that the scale of the proposed electrification of the national fleet will entail significant revenue risk, with the growth in EVs expected to erode Exchequer receipts from motor tax, VRT, VAT and fuel excise, particularly if the current tax structures remain unchanged.' It estimates that revenue from taxes on fossil fuel use and related transport will fall by €1 billion by 2030, down from €5.3 billion in 2022.

Laing O'Rourke welcomes Government green light for Sizewell C nuclear plant project
LAING O'ROURKE has welcomed the British Government's decision this week to go-ahead with plans to build the Sizewell C nuclear power plant. The Irish-founded firm is one of three construction companies signed up to deliver the project in Suffolk, which is being jointly funded by Canadian pension fund La Caisse, UK energy firm Centrica and Amber Infrastructure. On July 22, Britain's Energy Secretary Ed Miliband signed off on the project, which will deliver clean power for the equivalent of six million homes, as well as support 10,000 jobs and create 1,500 apprenticeships once it is operational, which is expected to be in the 2030s. 'It is time to do big things and build big projects in this country again- and today we announce an investment that will provide clean, homegrown power to millions of homes for generations to come,' he said. Plans for the Sizewell C nuclear power plant have been given the green light by the British Government this week 'This government is making the investment needed to deliver a new golden age of nuclear, so we can end delays and free us from the ravages of the global fossil fuel markets to bring bills down for good,' he added. Last month the British Government confirmed it will invest £14.2bn in the project and Laing O'Rourke signed a Programme Alliance Agreement to form a Civil Works Alliance (CWA) with Sizewell C, Balfour Beatty and Bouygues Travaux Publics. All members of the CWA are already working on the near-replica Hinkley Point C project in Somerset. Their work on Sizewell C will include enabling works and earthworks, marine and tunnelling works, main civils works, ancillary works, permanent roads and networks. 'Learnings and verified proof-of-concept practices from the construction of Hinkley Point C will be applied by the CWA to the construction of Sizewell C,' a Laing O'Rourke spokesperson said. The firm's Group Chief Executive, Cathal O'Rourke said they are already planning for Sizewell C. "Laing O'Rourke is already working with our alliance partners to plan for this complex project,' he said in a statement this week. 'We welcome the certainty that this decision brings for the project and are proud to play our part in delivering the next chapter of Britain's clean energy future.' He added: 'We've learned a lot from the work we've done on Hinkley Point C and that experience will power how we deliver this complex project and we are excited to keep working with our partners on this critical project."

Advertisement Read more in Money The The Minister of State in the Department of Justice claimed that there are many workers who will want to see income tax cuts in the budget too. He told Limerick Live 95fm: 'If we are to have a tax package of €1.5billion... I want to see it spread as wide and as deep as possible.' Advertisement Most read in The Irish Sun Breaking Latest The Fianna Fail rep push back on the full VAT rate cut for the hospitality sector comes amid reports that the tax break for businesses will be postponed until the second half of next year. Briefings from Government sources quoted across a range of news outlets today pointed to the VAT rate not kicking in until the second half of 2026. Cost Crisis Hitting Irish Businesses And Causing Closure Havoc This would see the €1billion price tag of such a VAT cut lowered and would leave the Finance Minister with more cash to use for income tax cuts in the budget. Earlier this week, Finance Minister Paschal Donohoe warned that tough decisions will have to be made in the budget as he will not be going above the €1.5billion tax package. Advertisement He said: 'It would not be right to grow the scale of our tax package with everything that we are confronting at the moment.' 'ECONOMIC VANDALISM' The Minister revealed that the full year cost of a VAT cut for just restaurants and cafes would be around €1billion. This sparked a furious reaction from trade unions who feared that the Government's commitment to the hospitality sector VAT cut would come at the cost of having no income tax cuts for workers. The Irish Congress of Trade Unions urged the Government to drop the €1billion tax cut for the hospitality sector as they claimed it was 'economic vandalism'.
