“Redfaire is focused on becoming a leading Oracle IT services companies in EMEA,” said the company’s chief executive, Brian McInerney. “We are incredibly proud to be building a world-class IT company in Limerick. The founders of Redfaire are all from Limerick. When we graduated we went abroad; now we are able to bring that international experience back to our home town.”

The new jobs were welcomed by Minister for Finance Michael Noonan.
