Bruton: IT not like the construction sector before boom

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton rejected allegations Ireland would be left relying too much on the IT industry after a leading insurance firm announced it is to create more than 100 jobs at two new IT hubs in Dublin.

Zurich Insurance Group has already begun recruiting for the 112 new hi-tech jobs, with graduates, senior specialists and management positions covering a wide range of areas from change management to cyber analysts to disaster recovery specialists.
