Over 1,000 people interested in going to opening of Wetherspoons' Carlow pub in May

Over 1,000 people are interested in going to the opening of JD Wetherspoons' Carlow pub in May of this year. 

The Tullow Gate in Carlow will be JD Wetherspoons 6th pub in Ireland. Work has already started on the building - at a cost of €3 million.

The former Traders Bar is being redeveloped into an impressive two bar operation complete with large customer areas and a first floor roof terrace. 

It's expected up to 50 people will be employed in the new pub. 

A Facebook event page has been set up for the grand opening and if you want to go, click here.
