Boost for city as Apple set to create 350 jobs

COMPUTER giant Apple is to provide up to 350 jobs in Cork after signing a property deal to establish an office in the city centre.

The company, which already employs more than 3,000 people in Ireland, has signed a deal to lease offices in Cork’s Half Moon Street, a move that reverses recent trends of companies moving out of the city to cheaper suburban parks.

Apple has had a major presence in Cork, since 1981, at Hollyhill, on the city’s northside.
