A leading fintech firm is set to move into the former Apple offices on Cork city’s Half Moon St, which developer John Cleary bought in January in a deal valued at around €30m.

Empyrean Solutions, who are currently based in Penrose Quay, are due to relocate to the prime riverside location at Half Moon St/Lavitt’s Quay next month. In addition, a jobs announcement is due to be made mid-May by the IDA client company.
