Paddy Power jobs - Building confidence

Baseless optimism is little more than wishful thinking but amidst a seemingly endless deluge of dispiriting economic data any good news is more than welcome.

Earlier this week Kerry Foods announced a new and very welcome project in Kildare that will create nearly 1,000 jobs.

Yesterday that good news was augmented when bookmaker Paddy Power announced the business is to create 610 jobs in Dublin to support the company’s international online expansion.
