220 jobs to come on stream in Dublin and Belfast

A total of 220 jobs were announced yesterday.

A landmark building in the centre of Belfast is being turned into a boutique-style hotel which will create over 180 full and part-time jobs, while AOL Ireland announced plans to create 40 software engineering roles over the next 12 months at its Dublin development centre.

An estimated £12m (€14.07m) is being spent to transform the former Scottish Mutual building opposite Belfast’s City Hall.
