Online auction company eBay has announce plans to create 150 additional jobs at its European headquarters in west Dublin.
The new jobs will bring total employment numbers at Blanchardstown between eBay and its sister company Paypal to more than 1,750.
The new jobs will be in areas such as sales and technical support and are supported by IDA Ireland.
In recent months, eBay's sister company Paypal announced the addition of 200 new jobs in Dublin.
'The decision to expand eBay Dublin is a reflection of our confidence in the standard of skilled workforce within the Irish markets, ' commented Andrew Pease, site director for eBay Dublin.
IDA Ireland's chief executive Barry O'Leary said news of the additional jobs demonstrates the country's continued ability to provide a nurturing environment, where 'leading-edge corporations can continue to expand'.
