Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD announced that HCL Technologies, a leading global technology and IT enterprise company, is to establish a Software Delivery centre in Dublin. The company, which is an IDA Ireland client, will create 80 jobs over 3 years for IT graduates.

HCL Technologies is a leading global IT services company, with over 85,000 employees working across 31 countries and leverages its extensive global offshore infrastructure to provide holistic, multi-service delivery in key industry verticals including Financial Services, Manufacturing, Consumer Services, Public Services and Healthcare.

At today’s announcement Minister Bruton said "The real economic success story of Ireland in the mid/late 1990s was based in part on tapping into the global IT boom going on at that time. If we are to get out of the crisis we're in and create the jobs we so badly need, a key part of that will be to build on our established strengths and once again now take advantage of the rapid growth in the global IT industry - particularly coming from countries like India and China.
