Tech jobs boost for Dublin and Kerry

INTERNET giant Google is to open a new data centre in Dublin to run its search engine, Gmail and Google Maps services.

And in a further boost to Ireland’s technology presence, a further 100 positions are to be created by a Japanese firm relocating part of its operation to Tralee.

In Dublin, Google has bought 11 acres of land and an existing building in the Profile Park in the west of the city in a €75 million investment.
