Ikea Ireland Market Manager Martyn Allan said these outlets mean people can access more products from more places.
"We are thrilled to introduce a slice of Swedish design and affordable home solutions to new areas of Ireland, where we haven't previously been physically present," he said.
"Our Plan and Order Points are the perfect spot to craft your dream kitchen without breaking the bank, offering a 25-year guarantee on all kitchens.
"Beyond kitchen planning, these locations serve as an ideal hub for assisting individuals who live a distance from our Ballymun store, whether they're looking to order a new sofa, wardrobe, or any other Ikea product," he added.
