85 new jobs a welcome boost for Dublin South

 

Biometric in Carrickmines has announced the creation of 34 new jobs, DOCOsoft in UCD is creating 14 jobs, Handle Hygiene in Dundrum is creating 13 jobs and XI in Leopardstown is creating 24 jobs.

 

“Today’s announcement that 84 jobs will be created in Dublin South, as well as another 345 jobs nationwide, is a welcome boost for the area and comes on the back of Vodafone Ireland’s recent commitment to retain jobs in Leopardstown. Creating jobs is the Government’s number one priority and a huge amount of work has been done between Enterprise Ireland and the Department to create these jobs in 24 new high potential start-up companies across the country.

 

“I am delighted that one out of every five of these jobs is in Dublin South. Many of these companies are operating in precisely the innovative sectors that the Government is targeting for growth; clean tech, life sciences, ICT and financial services. This comes on the back of Ireland’s continued improvement in the global innovation rankings €“ 13th in the 2011 Global Innovation Index, up from 19th in 2010.

 

“If we are to rebuild the economy and create jobs of the future here, we must not only continue to attract high-end multinational companies, but also ensure that more high potential small businesses can establish and expand here. Only an indigenous engine of economic growth can create the successful future we all want for Ireland.”
