Liberty Mutual to create 150 jobs

Liberty Mutual has bought the remaining portion of the former Quinn Insurance and announced the creation of 150 jobs in Dublin.

The jobs are part of the insurance provider’s IT operations and will bring the number of people employed by Liberty Mutual on the island of Ireland to 1,500.

Liberty, based in Boston, and IBRC’s predecessor, Anglo Irish Bank Corp, took control of Quinn Insurance two years ago, after the Irish insurer was placed into administration in 2010 amid concerns about the company’s solvency. The sale of the remaining stake in the company, since renamed Liberty Insurance, is a result of IBRC’s liquidation, ordered by the State in February.
