Microsoft’s Cloud Services Growth Drives Second Expansion of its Dublin Datacentre
€170m to expand cloud empire
Richard Bruton, TD, Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, welcomed the news.

“Big data is a sector which offers great potential for Ireland, and which we have targeted as part of our Action Plan for Jobs. In recent years, we have seen some major announcements in this sector.

“Today’s announcement that an iconic company like Microsoft is investing €170m, creating 380 temporary construction jobs and 20 permanent jobs by building a world-leading data centre here is very welcome.”

IDA Ireland chief executive Barry O’Leary said data centres have been a buoyant sector for the IDA in the last number of years and will enable Ireland to win further investments worldwide.

“This investment, by such a well-respected global brand, reinforces Ireland’s credentials as the leading location in cloud computing,” O’Leary said.

Hear What our Graduates have to say about Springboard at DBS

"Having been fortunate enough to gain a place studying Digital Marketing as part of the Springboard initiative at DBS I found myself enjoying the course from the start. The attitude of lecturers and students was immediately positive and encouraging, while the course content itself was thorough and enjoyable.

Gaining new skills and the general environment of encouragement certainly helped my own prospects and confidence with regard to future professional development.

I found the DBS city centre location convenient and vibrant. Overall, having seen my career benifit significantly both during and after my time at the college I feel that my participation on the course at DBS was an extremely rewarding and beneficial experience."

James Jennings, Certificate in Digital Marketing
