Making today’s announcement Minister Bruton said

“LinkedIn is an excellent addition to the thriving digital media industry operating from Ireland. The creation of 100 jobs by a leading global internet company across a wide range of business functions is very welcome indeed and will provide employment opportunities for highly skilled staff in an exciting and innovative business.”

Connie Gibney, international human resources director at LinkedIn described Ireland as "increasingly one of the world’s centres of talented people with international language skills and experience in working for fast-growing internet companies. This makes it the ideal place from which to support our continuing growth in Europe and further abroad.”
