US group to expand Irish operations

AN American-owned financial services group which already employs over 400 in Dublin is to bring 250 jobs to Waterford over the next two to five years.

The jobs at BISYS are a welcome boost to the city and county, given the imminent closure of Waterford Crystal’s Dungarvan plant and the loss of 480 jobs in the group.

The bulk of jobs at the IDA technology park at Butlerstown on the edge of the city will be for graduates who will administer hedge funds.
