Facebook to add 1,000 new jobs in Ireland by year-end

DUBLIN: The social media giant Facebook will hire an additional 1,000 people at its international headquarters in Dublin this year, the second major jobs announcement from a US multinational in Ireland in a matter of days.

Facebook began work late last year on a new office campus in Dublin, which it said would quadruple its footprint in the city and allow it to more than double its current staff of over 4,000.
