Jobs boost as four firms to create 250 new positions

More than 250 jobs are set to be created across the country in a range of different sectors after four separate companies announced expansion plans yesterday.

The largest growth plans were unveiled by KN Network Services, a partner of telecoms company Eir.

Eir said its partner company will recruit 100 staff, including polling crews, cabling technicians and fibre splicers over the coming three months as a result of the rollout of fibre broadband.
