There has been a quiet IT revolution happening as the digital world transforms the way we live — and the world is waking up to the fact that Cork is becoming a major player on the world stage when it comes to tech, writes Pádraig Hoare.

A US IT firm that counts the US Department of Defence and the Mercedes Formula 1 world champions among its clients will create 50 jobs in Cork, after opening its European base there.
