Taoiseach officially opens new Sky Ireland HQ in Dublin
Taoiseach Enda Kenny today officially opened Sky Ireland's new office in Dublin. Sky currently employs 450 people in Dublin and within six months will increase that to 800 people, with plans for further expansion in the future.
The Taoiseach said:
This is very encouraging news for job seekers and the Dublin area....
As the global economy continues to embrace a digital future, there are rich and significant opportunities here for Ireland particularly when you take into account our geographical position as the gateway to Europe for America and vice versa.
With the move from analogue to digital, you yourselves have identified the potential that the Irish digital economy offers. You see the clusters of world-renowned hi-tech companies and innovators, the huge potential and opportunity in terms of the digital economy. We’re a great location for digital-content providers and for companies looking to source highly-educated, highly-motivated workers. That’s why you’re here.
