A round-up of the week’s tech news coverage and features from The Irish Times
There was more good news for tech jobs this week, with chipmaker AMD planningat its Irish operations as part of a $135 million investment over the next four years. The jobs are high-tech roles in engineering and research positions, along with a number of support roles.
If you didn’t realise that AMD was even in Ireland, that is because it wasn’t - until it bought Xilinx, which had been in Ireland since 1994. That deal was completed last year, giving AMD a foothold here. While it doesn’t replace the thousands of jobs that have been lost in the tech sector in the past few months, it is certainly a step in the right direction, and follows the ServiceNow jobs that were announced last week. And
is also still recruiting for tech staff at its Ryanair Labs innovation hub, with 100 roles open. It is part of the 150 jobs it announced last November by the company.- with almost €10 billion in state subsidies backing the €30 billion investment. That’s a significantly higher investment than envisaged, with Intel originally costing the plant at €17 billion when the preliminary agreement was signed.
