20 jobs are to be created in Portlaoise over the next three years, following the announcement that lead generation services company Internal Results Ireland Limited is to establish a Customer Support Centre in the County Laois town.

The investment is supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said: "Today's announcement which is supported by my Department through IDA that Internal Results (Ireland) Limited is creating 20 new jobs in its new customer support centre in Portlaoise is a welcome announcement for the town and its workforce. A central ambition of our Action Plan for Jobs process is to ensure that all regions of the country benefit from the recovery. Today's announcement is another step in that direction and I wish the company and its workforce every success for the future."

Internal Results Director of Delivery Noel Hooban added: "IDA funding was a key factor in Internal Results’ decision to expand our operations in Portlaoise. This will contribute to the future growth of the business and employment opportunities for the community. We are thrilledto be located in Portlaoise with access to a strong local skills base to support our operations. It is a big vote of confidence in Portlaoise that we are now expanding our company here. To other new and emerging companies I would say: Consider Portlaoise, not only is there a strong skills base to tap into but you can benefit from more competitive rates for property outside of Dublin and Cork. Infrastructure, including the roads network, is excellent too."
