Center Parcs has been given planning permission to build its first village outside of the UK.
The company plans to develop a 395-acre site near Ballymahon in County Longford, Ireland.
Its sixth village will be called Center Parcs Longford Forest and is expected to open its doors in 2019.
It will have capacity for up to 2,500 guests in 470 Lodges and 30 apartments.
Center Parcs CEO Martin Dalby said: "Today’s announcement marks another significant milestone in the history of Center Parcs.
"Since we announced our intention to bring the Center Parcs experience to Ireland last year, we have been overwhelmed by the support we have received, both at local and national level."
