PayPal has announced today that they are to create 400 new jobs at the eBay Inc. European Operations Centre in Dundalk.
“I am delighted with the announcement that 400 new jobs will be created by PayPal in Dundalk in addition to the 1,000 jobs announced two years ago. By 2018, it is expected that the total eBay and PayPal workforce in Dundalk will be 1,850 employees.
“This announcement will have a very positive effect for Dundalk and County Louth as a whole as it will also create hundreds of indirect 'spin-off' jobs in the community. I will continue to work with my colleagues in Government and in the local community to see continued investment into County Louth. I would like to wish the local team at PayPal continued success in their work over the coming years.
“Even though our economic situation has steadily improved over the course of the last few years, locally, many people are still struggling for work. From adults who have re-trained or up-skilled to improve their employment chances, to the newly graduated, highly-qualified young people pouring out of our colleges and universities, this is a very welcome announcement. Supporting the creation of jobs and the building of a sustainable economy has been a key priority for this Government since day one."
