Ireland could face huge IT shortage, says survey

Ireland could face an unsatisfied demand for the estimated 14,000 new IT professional jobs that are forecast in the Irish marketplace in 2005, according to an Irish Computer Society (ICS) backed European survey.

The report, commissioned by the Council of European Professional Informatics Societies (CEPIS), of which the ICS is a leading member, also compares and contrast the structure and composition of the IT professional in Ireland with other leading European countries.
