700 jobs have been announced nationwide by Just Eat.
The food delivery company is recruiting additional couriers to meet growing consumer demand due to Level 5 restrictions.
The workers will service expanded delivery areas in urban locations.
Just Eat says it's increased its delivery areas, where independent restaurants have been most impacted by the new restrictions.
Restaurants
All restaurants that sign up to the platform in the next 2 weeks will enjoy a period of waived commission for their first 30 days on the platform.
Amanda Roche-Kelly, Just Eat Ireland Managing Director says: “We are delighted to be in a position to build our courier network at a time when many people have had to temporarily or permanently leave their jobs. We anticipate increased demand during the lockdown period and want to ramp up in order to ensure that we capture all those orders on behalf of our restaurant partners. With the additional fleet we can service more restaurants in more areas – reaching more hungry consumers."
