A DUBLIN TECHNOLOGY firm has today announced it will created 150 new jobs in the capital.
Calypso Technology, which provides capital markets software solutions, plans to establish a Managed Services Centre in Dublin, with investment supported by the Department of Jobs Enterprise and Innovation through IDA Ireland.
The company is now recruiting for professionals in a range of areas such as business, technical analysis, quality assurance, and application support.
Speaking about the announcement today, Minister Bruton said financial services is a key sector and a targeted area for the government’s job creation plan.
Waste collection company The City Bin Co also announced 30 new jobs to be rolled out before Christmas in Dublin as it expands its service into new areas including Finglas, East Wall, Coolock and Drumcondra.

Forget about the Water protest nonsense this is the sort of news we want
Fantastic news. Good luck to everyone applying for the positions!
150 jobs is obviously a great thing but it only ever seems as if its Dublin or Cork being invested in. Surely the IDA has to do more to ensure a more even spread, the brain drain from all other regions is already ridiculous.
Better Dublin or Cork than London or Sydney
Wexford, Limerick and Clare have all had jobs announced in the past week on this site.
Well, the company I work for, Avaya, announced 75 jobs for our Galway operation just 3 weeks ago with the support of the IDA, and we already have close to 500 mostly technical employees today after big expansion during the past 4 years.
There’s no infrastructure in the “other areas”. The majority of the population are clustered around population centres, so it makes senses to have the jobs where the people are.
Always good news but it’s comical when someone from FG come out and say that they have created all the additional jobs this year.
@Martin do you think the government would be getting it in the ear if unemployment was rising ? Of course they would do they deserve some of the credit for increased job creation
They have.
have your say
