The announcement was made as the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation Mary Mitchell O'Connor TD officially opened SIRO's new offices in Carrickmines, Co. Dublin today.

SIRO will now employ 120 people as it ramps up the construction of Ireland's first 100% fibre-optic broadband network to 500,000 premises in 50 towns nationwide. The company also announced that it will invest €150 million in its network rollout in 2017, which will support 400 subcontractors working on the project around Ireland.

Minister Mitchell O'Connor said: "Broadband connectivity is of vital importance to the Irish economy in terms of job creation and enabling Irish companies to compete online. I have seen the potential of the Gigabit society already when I opened the Ludgate Hub in Skibbereen, which is powered by SIRO, this summer. It is an exemplar project which is already sowing the seeds for a vibrant digital economy in West Cork and transforming the broadband experience in the town. I am aware that other towns are hoping to replicate its success as part of SIRO's rollout, which is a real boost for regional Ireland."

Sean Atkinson, SIRO CEO, added: "We are delighted to move into our new home after doubling our headcount to 120 and outgrowing our old premises. It is our ambition to become Ireland's new national telecoms infrastructure and I am excited by the calibre and enthusiasm of colleagues who have joined us to help build our unique 100% optical Fibre-to-the-Building network – the only solution capable of future-proofing Ireland's broadband needs now and for the decades ahead."
