Barclays to expand Irish operation under Brexit uncertainty contingency plan

Barclays has confirmed plans to expand its Dublin operations as part of Brexit contingency plans amid a lack of certainty over future trading arrangements for financial services.
It is understood that the lender's Dublin office could be bolstered by up to 150 staff, potentially doubling the size of its local employee base, though it is not clear whether that would be the result of local recruitment or the relocation of UK jobs.
