Microsoft expansion a big win for Leopardstown – Richmond

Attending the announcement of a 600 job expansion by Microsoft in Leopardstown this morning (Friday), locally based Fine Gael Senator, Neale Richmond had said the expansion is a big win.

“This expansion is a big win for Leopardstown and a big win for Microsoft.

“Microsoft have been working out of this area for many years now, they are a long term employer committed to the area with great plans for their new offices currently under construction.

“500 of the 600 new jobs will be at the new inside sales centre that will be located in Leopardstown with the remaining jobs based across Microsoft’s other locations.

“Leopardstown is part of the wider Sandyford Business District, a thriving commercial destination that is achieving an international reputation as a top place to do business.

“I’m delighted to welcome the Taoiseach and Minister Mitchell O’Connor to Leopardstown this morning for this exciting launch and I’m looking forward to more wins for this region on the jobs front.”
