US firm to create 20 technology jobs

A US chip technology company has chosen Ireland as the location for a top-class research and development centre, creating up to 20 jobs.

California-based Actel has established a European processor development centre in Dublin which will develop new technologies.

The availability of designers with in-depth intellectual property and microprocessor experience made Dublin an appropriate choice, according to Actel Senior Vice President (Engineering), Fares Mubarak.
