Taoiseach Enda Kenny with IT Alliance CEO Philip Maguire, Enterprise Ireland CEO Frank Ryan and Stephan Gavin, Resourcing Consultant with IT Alliance

Taoiseach Enda Kenny today announced that indigenous technology company I.T. Alliance Group is to create 75 jobs over the next year in a €2m investment.

The Group, which currently employs over 400 people, has developed a global niche as an IT outsourcing partner to the world’s leading IT outsourcing companies.

Recruitment has commenced for the 75 new jobs covering a range of positions across the IT spectrum and also account management, project management, digital marketing and business operations.

Speaking at the official opening the Taoiseach said:

This announcement of 75 new jobs by I.T. Alliance Group is great news and contributes to the 3,000 private sector jobs being created every month. The expansion of this ambitious and innovative Irish technology company further enhances the country's reputation as a 'digital island'. It is an endorsement of our strengths in the digital sector and our talented and dedicated workforce.

Philip Maguire, CEO and founder, I.T. Alliance Group added:

This is a great time to be in the technology business in Ireland. The tech world is undergoing fundamental change globally and that creates opportunities. While there is a shortage of IT skills worldwide, the Government is making strides to address the issue here. Combined with our indigenous creative skills I see no reason why Irish companies cannot create strong, dominant technology brands that compete internationally over the next decade, especially those in the emerging cloud sector.”

Welcoming the announcement Frank Ryan, CEO, Enterprise Ireland, said:

Enterprise Ireland has worked closely with I.T. Alliance in supporting its strategic investment and development to drive continued international growth.
