100 new jobs were announced in the city today, as the ribbon was cut on a major €5m expansion at Platform 94 in Mervue.

Platform 94 - formerly known as Galway Technology Centre - is now more than 10 times bigger than it was when it was first founded in 1994.

There are currently 600 people employed on site, and Platform94 will contribute almost €70m to the regional economy this year.

Between the various companies, there's currently 100 jobs on offer - and advertising tech firm Buymedia further announced 100 new jobs this afternoon.
