    It's just increased to 200!

    http://www.rte.ie/business/2008/1201/jobs.html

    it was on radio news and:

    http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/breaking-news/ireland/business/60-new-jobs-announced-for-swords-in-north-dublin-14087651.html

    earlier today as 100 new jobs...

    Apparently in a new building/site - hopefully a bit out of town so it doesn't require it's employees to sit in traffic half the day.

    Hopefully it doubles a few more times.

    It's to be the Europen HQ so that limits it further - since plenty have established the European HQ already

    indeed, that's what i was thinking, and they must have a pretty sizeable market share already to warrant that.

    More damp squib stuff!
    1. How many local jobs are to be provided?
    2. How many ex-pat jobs will be filled?
    3. When will the jobs come on stream?
    4. What sort of jobs are they?

    These "announcements" far outweigh the enormity of job losses.

    *irony alert*
    Will Fas be involved in training the high tch workers for these type of projects? They may be needing space cadets and classical piano players.:D

    so, would you rather these jobs weren't created and for us to just wallow in self pity for the duration of the recession?

    The Independent says they will be based in the Mervue industrial estate.
    A big part of the Nortel building is more or less empty. Or Abbott?

    It's well served by buses on both the Tuam road and Monivea road - no need for anyone to drive.

    I might have a sniff around myself as it suits my skills and experience and it would be nice to work for a private company that doesn't have to focus so much on each quarter.

    There are people in the office working, about a dozen or so.

    It is the tall building that was built for Nortel.
