100 New Jobs For East Point Business Park In Dublin

A total of 100 new jobs are being creating by two companies based at Dublin's East Point Business Park.

Multinational tech company, Citrix, have announced they will create 50 new jobs at their East Point base. This followed an announcement that FINEOS is also to create 50 new jobs at the Dublin site.

Welcoming the news, Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport, and Fine Gael Deputy for Dublin Central, Paschal Donohoe, said that the news was a "clear indication of the value companies put on the area and the work force that is available there."

He added: "Creating an environment in which multinationals are encouraged to set up and expand operations in Ireland has played, and continues to play, a huge part in our recovery. However, ensuring that opportunities are there for our home-grown, indigenous industries is also essential to the development of our economy and to our positioning.

"Today's announcement coincides with the opening of the new FINEOS global headquarters and R&D facilities at Eastpoint Business Park Dublin, demonstrating the strength of the company and the impact it is having on what is a seriously competitive global market.

"Software has been a key target area of Minister Bruton's Action Plan for Jobs and I am delighted that it is reaping dividends such as those we are witnessing here today."
