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.
