Leading Indian global technology and IT enterprise creates 80 jobs

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton today announced that HCL Technologies, a leading global technology and IT enterprise company, is to establish a Software Delivery centre in Dublin. The company, which is an IDA Ireland client, will create 80 jobs over 3 years for IT graduates.

Announcing the jobs, Minister Bruton said:

The real economic success story of Ireland in the mid/late 1990s was based in part on tapping into the global IT boom going on at that time. If we are to get out of the crisis we're in and create the jobs we so badly need, a key part of that will be to build on our established strengths and once again now take advantage of the rapid growth in the global IT industry - particularly coming from countries like India and China.

HCL is one of India's leading IT companies and a significant player the global industry, and I met them as part of my recent trade mission to India to discuss the possibility of them locating in Ireland. Today's announcement that they are creating 80 graduate IT jobs here is extremely welcome, and I am determined to build tirelessly on this to ensure that similar announcements can be made across the economy in the coming years

HCL Technologies is a leading global IT services company, with over 85,000 employees working across 31 countries and leverages its extensive global offshore infrastructure to provide holistic, multi-service delivery in key industry verticals including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Consumer Services, Public Services and Healthcare.
