Start-ups to deliver 1,500 jobs over next three years

More than 100 start-up companies yesterday committed to taking on a combined 1,500 additional staff over the next three years.

The roles will be created across the country and help reach the previously announced target of doubling the number of jobs created by start-ups over a five-year period, Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said yesterday.

As well as being geographically diverse, the burgeoning businesses operate across a range of sectors, including software, services, pharmaceutical, and medical devices.
