First Data invites candidates for Nenagh jobs

Local TD Alan Kelly has confirmed that  First Data, the world leader in FinTech, are setting up their European R&D Headquarters in Nenagh and work on their site in Stereame on the Limerick road is just about to commence.  

They have already announced that they will be recruiting 300 people for the site and are opening an recruitment office in the town centre in the coming weeks.

Deputy Kelly said: 'I have just spoken to First Data executives over the last week and they have now created the following page - https://www.firstdata.com/en_ie/about-first-data/careers.html - for prospective candidates to put forward their interest in any of the positions that will become available. People can email the company directly at recruitmentnenagh@firstdata.com and express their interest or get more information.

'This is an incredible company and an unbelievable opportunity for the town of Nenagh and Tipperary to have them setting up base here. Not alone will they bring great employment but also they will bring greater economic prosperity to the town and local area. First Data have also put Nenagh and Tipperary on the map and are a great example of the calibre of company we can bring to the county.

'I want to thank all at First Data for working so closely with me for the last two years to make this happen. Senior representatives of the company have met me on numerous occasions in New York and they have been constantly visiting Nenagh and will be here again this week. It took a huge amount of work and effort and I'm thrilled to see it come to fruition. Thanks also to Joe MacGrath, Marcus O'Connor, Brian Beck and all the team in Tipperary County Council and to the IDA for all their help and support.

'I want to encourage everyone who has an interest in these positions to make it known to the company in the coming weeks and I want to wish the best to everyone who applies,' Deputy Kelly stated.
