Relatively strong growth through the last three months of the year has pushed the total expansion of the Irish economy last year to by an estimated 12.2pc, according to new Central Statistics Office (CSO) data.
The number of new start-ups registered in Ireland last year dropped to their lowest figure on record since 2016, according to the latest data from CRIFVision-net.
Centra has unveiled plans to open 18 new stores this year as part of a new €23m store expansion programme.
