Bruton: 770 jobs to be created through Govt-backed start-ups

Some 770 jobs will be created as a result of a Government-backed programme offering support to 80 'high-potential' start-up companies, Enterprise Minister Richard Bruton said today.

The minister said that the Government, through Enterprise Ireland, supported the establishment of 80 new high potential start up companies (HPSUs) in 2010, involving over 150 entrepreneurs.
