Tralee is open for business - Deenihan
Minister Deenihan performs official opening of JRI America at Kerry Technology Park
Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Jimmy Deenihan, is today Monday, performing the official opening of JRI America’s new, state-of-the-art offices at Kerry Technology Park.
Speaking at the event, Minister Deenihan said:
Back in 2011 when I announced the establishment of JRI America’s software development operation, I strongly believed that the location of Tralee would serve them well, in terms of acquiring the skilled workforce needed and benefitting from the business-friendly environment that exists here.
I’m very gratified to see that this has proven the case and that, with these new 14,000 square foot offices, the company is planning strategically for further development into the future.
That growth is expected to see the workforce expand from its current level of, I understand, almost 70 people. That is terrific news for Tralee and for the wider region.
