There was a major boost for Mayo this morning (Wednesday, November 27 ) with the announcement of the creation of 150 new jobs by Northgate Information Solutions in Castlebar over a three year period. The jobs will focus on Northgate’s core services including IT and transactional services, as well as document management services and an extension to the health services already in place. The announcement was made during the conference on Partnership and Innovation hosted by the West/North West Hospitals Group and NUI Galway today.
An Taoiseach Enda Kenny welcomed the news stating that this is an indication of the confidence of a major service provider in the Irish economy, and the investment and additional jobs are particularly welcome in the west of Ireland. He indicated that the expansion would have the full support of the development agencies and the local authority and said he looked forward to seeing the programme move forward with urgency.
