200 jobs are to be created at the online payments company, PayPal, in Dublin.
The jobs are in customer service and operations at the company’s European centre at its Blanchardstown centre. PayPal, which set up in Ireland in 2003, currently employs more than 1,350 in Blanchardstown.
Minister for Jobs, Enterprise & Innovation Richard Bruton said Paypal is a world class company and has shown in west Dublin that Ireland still has competitive strengths, including skills in technology and languages. Those are the skills that will rebuild the economy, he said, and it was a very important vote of confidence in Ireland.
Paypal is also looking for Italian, French and Spanish speakers.
