SAP is a world-leading ICT company and today’s announcement that it is creating an additional 260 jobs is a huge boost for Dublin, Galway and for the country. ICT is a sector which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs, and we have put in place a range of measures to support jobs growth in this area including steps to dramatically increase the availability of skilled workers in this area. I am determined to ensure that by continuing to make the necessary changes we can support accelerated jobs growth across the economy.
