I propose to take Questions Nos. 592 to 594, inclusive, together.
In July 2015 it was announced that the company in question had chosen to locate a Customer Support Centre of Excellence in Limerick, with the support of IDA Ireland. Recruitment and early operations in Limerick began the following month.
Job numbers now stand at approximately 100 and are growing incrementally. It is envisaged that the Centre will employ 300 people when fully operational. However, it is not possible at this stage to provide an accurate figure for the number of jobs to be added during 2017.
Information on grants approved is confidential as they contain commercially sensitive information between IDA and its client companies. However, details of grants actually paid are made available in due course. In this case, no grants have yet been paid to the company in question.
