450 new jobs for Dublin - Taoiseach
The Taoiseach and Minister Bruton at the Oracle Dublin office today
Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Jobs Minister Richard Bruton were at Oracle this morning to announce that the cloud computing company will create 450 new jobs at their Dublin office.
The jobs will be in the area of cloud sales, as the company looks to grow its business in the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.
Oracle is looking for recruits with a range of experience from across the EMEA region, from highly motivated sales professionals with two to three years’ experience to highly experienced senior sales professionals.
The Taoiseach said:
This announcement of 450 new jobs in cloud computing is a vote of confidence in Dublin's reputation as a tech hub with a highly skilled talent pool and the right policies for business to thrive. The Government is determined to keep the recovery going by maintaining our attractiveness as a location for investment. I welcome Oracle’s cloud investment plans, choosing Ireland as a key location to drive their future business.
Minister Bruton said:
Cloud computing is a key sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and in recent years we have seen impressive growth in this area. Today’s announcement that Oracle is creating 450 additional jobs on Dublin’s northside is a massive boost. This has huge knock-on benefits in the form of extra jobs in supply and service companies, as well as additional revenues for the exchequer to invest in better services. Through our long term plan we can keep the recovery going and create more jobs like this in the coming years
