Chamber of Commerce hopes to keep eBay jobs

There is hope that new office space in Dundalk can be found to accommodate the expansion plans of eBay and keep the major employer in the town, the local chamber of commerce has said.

It comes as a number of local TDs expressed concerns about whether Dundalk might lose out on any new jobs created by eBay because its former sister company PayPal — which is housed in the same building — is also growing rapidly.

Last year PayPal announced plans to hire more people at its Dundalk offices.
