THE COMPUTER NETWORKING company Cisco has announced 115 new jobs at its research and development (R&D) facility in Galway.
The world’s largest supplier of networking products says that it plans to invest €26 million into the facility over the next two years and create 115 new positions in R&D as a result.
The investment is being supported by IDA Ireland with Taoiseach Enda Kenny on hand to announce the new jobs this morning.
The project will see the company expand its mandate in Galway into new areas like communication and colloboration software technology. This will include developing cloud enabled desktop, mobile applications and real-time communications products.
“This jobs announcement by Cisco is most welcome news for Ireland and the West Region,” Kenny said today.
“The decision by Cisco to expand its Research and Development capabilities here in Galway demonstrates the value of economic stability and Ireland’s position in Europe when it comes to our ability to attract the overseas operations of world-leading multinational companies such as Cisco.”
Cisco has been operating in Galway since 2007. It also has offices for sales and EMEAR Capital operations in Dublin.

Great news for Galway. Good for them.
€226086.957, per job. Five years at the avgerage industrial wage. So by the time all the top dogs get their top share a lot will have to settle for minimum wage. Galway could do better.

Why do we not get any detail on the cost of these jobs surely it is the work of the journalist not to just regurgitate press releases but to add the important details that are not included by those involved in the back slapping cloak and dagger dealings .when do all these jobs come on stream ,what are the salary brackets ,will the workers be all sourced in Ireland ,how much funding whether monetary or otherwise is being provided by the state or it’s agents ,will this company be availing of super low tax and vat rates ,but then maybe if we had all this info we might see these announcements for what they really are .
Fanfare and deum roll for Enda please.
Lucky Galway again.
have your say
