More than 500 jobs for Limerick and Dublin

Two firms in Dublin and Limerick have confirmed plans to create more than 500 jobs between them in the engineering and car rental fields.

In Dublin, rental firm CarTrawler said it will fill 400 new roles over the next three years at its head-quarters in Dundrum.

It said the first phase, filling 200 positions, has already begun across a range of functions, including business development, customer operations, data science, finance, and engineering. It wants to have those positions filled by early 2015.
