Ireland’s Tánaiste, and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Mary Coughlan TD, is on a whistle-stop tour of the US, aiming to encourage more American technology, pharma and financial firms to invest in Ireland.
Some 480 US firms already employ almost 100,000 people in various sectors in Ireland, with a further 220,000 people indirectly employed by these firms.
Minister Coughlan’s visit to the US, where she will meet the heads of top US ICT, medical devices, pharmaceutical and financial services firms, comes following news today that the Marriott hotel chain is to create 220 jobs at a new hi-tech call centre that will handle more than 1.5 million calls by the end of 2009.
