Dublin Bay North Labour TD and member of the Oireachtas Communications Committee, Sean Kenny, has welcomed a bumper announcement of 100 new jobs created in Eastpoint Business Park, 50 by Citrix and 50 by FINEOS.

"The announcement of 100 new jobs is fantastic news for Dublin, and further demonstrates that Ireland is getting back to work. In addition to the 50 new roles, FINEOS has made Eastpoint their new global headquarters, which will also house their R&D facilities. It's very heartening to see an Irish company thriving in the digital sector, and creating high skilled employment opportunities. This expansion was made possible through investment by Enterprise Ireland, and I am proud to be part of a government which gives a helping hand to up and coming indigenous IT companies, a sector which is playing a key role in reviving the entire economy."

"Yesterday's news from Citrix, that it too is to recruit 50 new positions is also a huge vote of confidence in Dublin. The well-known mobile technology company's decision to expand here is testament to Dublin's reputation as a global IT hub, and most importantly, the abilities of Irish workers."

"On a wider level, the attractions of Ireland as a location for investment in jobs can be seen on a wider level in terms of the continued growth in employment figures. Unemployment rate is now 11.1% - in 2012 it was 15.1% - while more needs to be done to get our people back to work, this is very positive progress, and I know that the strength of the digital economy in Dublin can and will create more jobs."
