Over 100 jobs to be created in Galway

Computer giants Hewlett Packard have announced that they are to employ a further 105 people in Ireland.

The company are undergoing a major expansion programme, and the jobs will be created at its Galway facility.

Thirty-five of those jobs are to be given over the next three years, while 70 people will be employed immediately.

HP already employs more than 4,000 people in the island – in Dublin, Belfast, Kildare and in Galway.

“We are thrilled to be able to secure these jobs for Ireland as they speak hugely to the esteem in which the Irish skill set and capability is regarded within the HP community,” managing director of Hewlett Packard Ireland, Martin Murphy said.
