Minister Richard Bruton said: "This is a sector which is at the heart of the Government's Action Plan for Jobs, and in the time since we have taken office a total of over 11,000 additional people are at work in ICT activities."

"Through continued strong implementation of our plan I am convinced that we will see further jobs growth in this sector to help get Ireland back to work," he said.
