It's happening here on YouTube

WATCH: Kudos to Enterprise Ireland for producing this slick three-minute video promoting the benefits of working at our indigenous software companies. The clip doesn't use well-known CEOs or entrepreneurs but instead features contributions from young staff and bosses interspersed with footage of Dublin. Produced by Simply Zesty, it's a promotion for itshappeninghere.ie, which lists thousands of vacancies at the 600 Irish-owned software companies. And the video should make Dubliners proud of their city again.
