Start-ups to create more than 900 jobs

More than 900 jobs will be created over the next three years in 53 new start-up companies.

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton announced that positions will open by 2014 as the new firms set up shop across the country, following a Government and Enterprise Ireland initiative to support start-ups.

“What we must also do if we are to create the jobs we need is to create a base of indigenous companies that match that level of success,” said Mr Bruton.
