ONE HUNDRED JOBS will be created over the next five years in Clare.
Amax, a computing and data specialist, has opened its European manufacturing headquarters at Western Business Park in Shannon.
The new jobs will be in the areas of production, warehousing, finance and sales.
Jean Shih, President of AMAX, said the Irish facility “significantly expands our ability, capacity and network throughout the EMEA Europe (the Middle East and Africa) region to meet the demands of our customers”.
Minister for Business and Employment Ged Nash said today’s announcement is “fantastic news for Shannon and the greater Limerick and Clare area”.
Martin Shanahan, CEO of IDA Ireland also welcomed the announcement, saying:
There is huge growth potential in the whole ICT sector with demand from multiple industry spheres for cloud, big data applications and high performance computing. I see a bright future for this company here in Shannon.
In more good news on the jobs front, TransferMate Global Payments- a money transferring service – has announced that it will be taking on 25 people at their 24-hour call centre in Kilkenny.
The company, which has clients based in Europe, North America and Australia, hired 15 people in Ireland last year.
Managing Director Barry Dowling said the organisation’s continued growth is “dependent on having great staff and happy clients”.
“Our success to date has been based on people’s appetite to move from using the bank to secure cheaper deals on their foreign exchange payments. Companies now have a real alternative when it comes to making their foreign currency payments and despite having offices worldwide, some of our best people are here in Ireland.”
There should be no bar in your place of work on less you work in a bar. Seriously it should ne closed.
What will it take for common sense to kick in, in Ireland? On the increase, drug abuse, alcohol consumption, suicide, marital break up mortgage default and violent crime. On the decrease, spending, employment, tax take, health spending and public services! And the government answer is to tax everything, over a couple of jars in a private bar with no apparent licence! And they’re surprised when we get indignant! Phew! Gimme a break!
How much is a Jägerbomb in the Dàil bar ?
It’s free…..
I suppose it makes it rather obvious why the country is in the state it’s in, the politicians are all pissed!
‘A Freedom of Information Act has revealed’…..
Don’t follow.
Both Dail bars are licensed – one for members (Senators and TD’s) and the other for visitors (accompanied by a member).
Both can stay open for two hours after a sitting.
This information is in the public domain – and was alluded to in the media recently, including the Irish Times.
