Betting firm Paddy Power is to create 500 new jobs in Tallaght, Dublin, with 86 of these jobs being advertised today.
The "online operations" positions will come on stream over the next three years, and most will be based at the company's office in Tallaght.
The firm said it would create a total of 1,440 new positions in Ireland, UK and Australia by 2013. Of the 500 new jobs being created in Ireland, 375 will be located in Tallaght, in areas such as e-commerce, technology, quantitative research, online marketing and risk management.
Paddy Power's international online turnover has grown by 315% in the last three years and the group's strategy is to exploit additional new opportunities that arise as international markets liberalise.
A further 125 jobs will be created in the Paddy Power's retail outlets in Ireland. These new jobs are on top of 725 existing jobs in Paddy Power's Tallaght head office, 80 of which have been created and filled in the past 12 months.

I have no problem with any business claiming credit for creating new jobs...
But claiming credit for jobs that might be created in 2015 smells like PR b0llsh1t to me.

They've said for ages that they are going to tax online betting, but I've never understood how.
The budget, presumably, will reveal whether or not it's a real policy.
