Technical companies to create 1,500 jobs

MORE than 1,500 jobs will be created in new technology companies in the next three years despite the downturn in the economy, according to Enterprise Ireland.

In the past four years alone, almost 200 high potential companies set up in Ireland, generating employment for over 7,600 people.

The prospects here remain positive, despite global turbulence, Enterprise Ireland Chief Executive, Dan Flinter said.
