West Cork seeks IT staff as expansion to create 80 jobs

The Government has said it will take steps to increase the number of IT graduates as 80 new jobs were announced in an equity software firm in West Cork.

The positions will be filled over the next two years at Clonakilty-based Global Shares, which has been expanding in different parts of the world and securing major clients such as GSK, which use the company’s services to help manage a firm’s equity and other options for staff.

Recruitment starts immediately and Minister of State for Financial Services and Insurance, Michael Darcy, said at the Clonakilty office that upskilling and retraining of professionals from related and other sectors would be the focus of government generally.
