Gaming Company Expansion To Create Jobs

An online Japanese gaming company has announced plans to expand its European database in Dublin.

GALA has been based in the Irish capital since 2006, and says the expansion is a result of both the expansion of the online games market in Europe and the success of its Irish operation.

The move will create 103 jobs in the city.

Announcing the jobs, Tánaiste Mary Coughlan, said: "Gala is currently building a new worldwide gaming brand in an exciting and growing area in the games market.

"GALA's decision to expand its Irish facility further embeds the company's operations here."
