Facebook is set to add hundreds of jobs at its Irish base.
Founder Mark Zuckerberg said the new jobs will be created in Ireland to support growth in the firm’s International HQ.
The jobs will be across a number of teams in the Dublin headquarters.
Mr Zuckerberg announced the news at a meeting with Taoiseach Leo Varadkar today.
Gareth Lambe, Head of Facebook Ireland: “As the home of our international headquarters, Ireland is an important part of Facebook’s story and one of the most vibrant tech communities in the world.
“We are delighted that our Irish operations will be growing in 2018 with hundreds more jobs across all our teams.
“We also recently announced that we are expanding the Clonee Data Centre which will keep construction crews busy well into 2020, further demonstrating our long-term commitment to investment in Ireland.”
Facebook Ireland has grown from 30 people in 2009 to over 2,000 in 2017.
