West Cork is to benefit from 226 new business services jobs over the next three years with the expansion of SWS Group in Clonakilty.
SWS already employs 300 full-time and 230 part-time workers in the area. Over the next three years, the number of workers at the Business Process Outsourcing Division will grow from 145 to 371.
The division provides services such as document and payroll management, revenue and debt collection, and running call centres and helpdesks.
"The expansion by SWS is great news for Clonakilty and west Cork," Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Micheál Martin said.
SWS business development manager Jim Costello said the expansion represented "a major push for us into export markets where we believe we can build on a very strong track record with our existing customers".
