Deutsche Bank to create 700 jobs in Ireland

Deutsche Bank — Europe’s largest financial institution — is creating 700 jobs as part of a major expansion of its Irish operations.

The Frankfurt-headquartered bank, which employs 98,000 people worldwide, is to create a regional hub and centre of excellence at a 100,000 sq ft facility in Dublin’s Eastpoint Business Park.

The move will boost Deutsche’s Irish-based workforce from 330 to just over 1,000. Just four years ago, the company (which has had a presence in Ireland since the early 1990s) only employed 165people here.
