Jobs boost as 1,800 new posts announced at over 120 companies
The positions at the ‘class of 2013′ group of Enterprise Ireland-supported start-ups will be mostly in the areas of IT, life sciences and gaming.
ENTERPRISE IRELAND IS announcing around 1,800 new jobs this morning. They’re to come on stream over the next three years at ‘high potential start-up’ firms.
The positions — which will be in the areas of IT, life sciences, gaming, amongst other categories — are being announced by new companies supported by the enterprise body last year.
103 firms in the ‘class of 2013′ group of start-ups received investment from Enterprise Ireland. The new jobs are at those companies, and around 20 others previously supported by the body.
There was a rise in the number of female-led start-ups last year: 41 of the firms were headed up by women — up from 16 in 2012.
Jobs Minister Richard Bruton will make the official announcement in Dublin Castle later this morning.
