Long-awaited Galway Nando's opening edges closer with announcement of new jobs
Rumours have been swirling about the new location for months as the group closes in on a further Irish expansion.
Job listings have sporadically been posted on the Nando's recruitment website over the past six months.
It appears efforts are ramping up to finally get the plans off the ground, with three assistant manager roles currently listed and closing dates set for mid-July.
According to the job listings, the new restaurant will be located at the Galway Shopping Centre on the Headford Road in Galway city.
There are currently 13 Nando's locations across Ireland, including six in Dublin alone.
The move to Galway would represent the South Africa restaurant chain's first move to the west of Ireland.
However, a timeframe on when the restaurant can be expected to open remains unclear.
When contacted by the Irish Independent, Nando's said that they are not disclosing planned dates for the restaurant's opening.

Colin Sheridan: A reflection on the Irish sporting landscape in the summer of 2000
A quarter of a century ago, in the summer of 2000, the Irish sporting landscape was a bit of a desert. The odd oasis gave hope of the better tomorrows that would come, but, with an Olympic Games in Sydney offering the chance of, perhaps, two medals at best, we are talking about times of great austerity, which is ironic, because it was right about then that Irish banks started doling out credit cards like communion wafers.

Port of Cork set to open €100m deepwater berth dedicated to offshore energy development
The Port of Cork is poised to become the first port in the Republic to deliver dedicated quay facilities for the offshore renewable energy sector through a new €100m development. The 200-metre long CORE1 (Cork Offshore Renewable Energy 1) deepwater berth at Ringaskiddy East will be ready for use by October, port officials have said. It will have the length, depth, and load-bearing capacities required by companies that will build the large-scale offshore wind farms proposed for the Irish and Celtic seas. However, the Port of Cork Company has said it will need additional land and funding to provide the full range of dedicated quayside facilities that the sector requires if it is to help Ireland achieve its ambitious targets to create at least 37GW of offshore renewable energy generation capacity by 2050 — about six times our current peak electricity demand. The port company set out its progress on offshore renewable energy infrastructure for EU Commissioner Michael McGrath and his officials during a visit to the CORE1 project, which is being co-financed by the EU to the tune of some €38m. 'It would not have happened without a grant from the EU,' the port's commercial officer Conor Mowlds said. 'But there are challenges facing the port now after handing over 30-acres for offshore renewable energy (ORE). "However, Cork has the potential to become the centre of gravity to support Ireland's ORE sector — similar to what happened to Aberdeen during the North Sea oil boom.' Mr McGrath said that, given the scale of EU funding involved, he wanted to see the project first-hand and be briefed on where it fits within the Port of Cork's overall capital development ambitions. 'They have very ambitious plans for the years ahead, which will have to be brought forward in a phased manner and will require extensive consultation with the local community, statutory processes will have to be followed, and then funding packages put together," he said.
