Founder of Largo Foods and Tayto Park, Ray Coyle, said he is expanding both sites on the outskirts of Ashbourne which will take employee figures to 798.

The firm opened a 55-acre Tayto themed attraction in 2010.

A total of €15m has been invested in developing Tayto Park and another €2.1m will be provided this year.

"Little did I envisage four years ago when we started building Tayto Park that in two short years we would have welcomed 750,000 people to Tayto Park and all because people showed some interest in the bison we kept in the same field," said Mr Coyle.

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
