Insurance giant Zurich has said it plans to create 120 new jobs in Ireland by the end of the year.
The recruitment will bring the company's total workforce in Ireland to 1,100.
The positions will be located in the IFSC in Dublin and Blackrock, Co Dublin.
The company recently hired an additional 120 staff at a new centre in Wexford.
The company said it had considered a number of options, but chose Ireland as the location for expansion because of its long-standing membership of the EU and the euro, a well developed insurance market and a highly educated and skilled workforce.
