Tánaiste and Social Protection Minister Joan Burton today announced that Dublin company Accent Solutions are to create 100 new jobs over the next two years. 

The company specialises in providing a range of engineering and facilities solutions to the commercial, data centres, manufacturing and public sectors. 

Announcing the new jobs, the Tánaiste and Minister for Social Protection, Joan Burton, T.D. said:

This is a great day for a young company going from strength to strength. By adding 100 jobs, Accent Solutions will also contribute to the wider employment recovery that the Government is driving. We will soon have more than 2 million people at work, and that’s because of strong economic recovery and dynamic companies like Accent growing their business.

The Tánaiste also acknowledged the co-operation of Accent Solutions in assisting the Department of Social Protection by providing placements and work experience for jobseekers.

A central focus of mine has been transforming the Department from the passive benefits provider of old to an active and engaged public employment service. That has required the goodwill and cooperation of employers, and Accent Solutions was one of the companies that came on board to provide work experience and training for young jobseekers, many of whom had never worked since they left school. Martin McMahon also gave time from his hectic work schedule as MD of a company to address employers’ briefings and to become involved in a number of initiatives benefiting not just jobseekers but also local communities. Support such as this is immeasurable. I wish Accent congratulations on its work to date and continued success as you strive to grow your business and create jobs.
