Microsoft is adding 200 more jobs in digital sales at its European head office in Leopardstown, Dublin, as part of the US tech giant's rapid expansion that will bring its employee count to 2,800 in Ireland. This is apparently driven by the continuing growth of cloud services around the world during the Covid-19 crisis. 

It comes after Microsoft Ireland had announced in November plans to create 200 engineering jobs, also at Leopardstown.
