Pramerica announces 330 new jobs in Donegal

330 new jobs are being announced for Letterkenny in Donegal.

Pramerica Systems Ireland is creating the jobs over the next three years, and said there is potential for further growth.

The company, which currently employs 1,200 people in Letterkenny, is building a new campus that could accommodate 1,800 staff.

Pramerica is a subsidiary of US based Prudential Financial Inc and provides the parent company with software and business support. The company opened its Letterkenny office 15 years ago with a staff of eight.

Construction of the new facility will begin at the end of this year, and is scheduled to be finished by mid-2017. It could be occupied before then, however, with a planned occupancy date in mid-2016.

The expansion is being supported by the IDA and Donegal County Council.
