DUBLIN: Amazon will add more than 1,000 new jobs in Ireland over the next two years, the US online retail giant said on June 18, taking its workforce to more than 3,500 in a country that continues to be a magnet for major technology firms.

The move was the largest by a multinational company in Ireland this year and adds to the 11,300 announced by foreign companies in the first half of the year, a slight increase on the same period a year ago, according to Ireland's investment agency, IDA Ireland.
