    Great to see the level of investment, particularly in highly skilled areas.

    While I agree that every job is beneficial, I wouldn’t say large number. it’s not specified how many will actually be provided. I would regard 1000+ as a large portion but way off the 4500000 needed, But small steps and all that jazz. And IBM are a good company to work for, started out with them myself in the 80s. Kudos to those who gets a job but there will be tens of thousands applying!

    Good news no doubt but IBM can’t fill the current jobs they have open.

    Plus does anyone have any idea what kind of jobs these will be?

    Hi Dan,

    No specifics yet but they’ve said initial positions will be in sales and R&D.

    Thanks,

    In all fairness, IBM not filling positions has nothing to do with IBM, but the lack of qualified personnel in Ireland. I can assure you those positions will be filled, whether they are filled by Irish people or not is the question.

    I was one of those people, I was made redundant last March, this really hurts if I’m honest. But it is good to see new jobs coming to Ireland regardless off the company.
