PayPal announces 100 new jobs in Dublin

Global online payments company PayPal today announced the creation of 100 new jobs in customer service and operations at its European 'Centre of Excellence' in Blanchardstown, Dublin.

PayPal already employs more than 950 people at its Blanchardstown site. The new jobs will be in customer service and operations.

The announcement comes just six months after the official launch of PayPal's European Centre of Excellence by An Taoiseach Brian Cowen in March, supported by IDA Ireland.

At the opening, PayPal announced an investment of €15m to support the development of the company's Dublin offices into a European Centre of Excellence.

Vice-president of PayPal's European operations Uwe Heddendorp said: "We are delighted to expand our workforce here and to continue to support our growing European business."
