The fifty new jobs will bring the total headcount of the company’s Limericks staff to 150.

Mayor of the City and County of Limerick Cllr Kieran O’Hanlon said: “Limerick has become home to several clusters in the ICT, med-tec and financial services sectors. And it’s very heartening to see that these clusters are being expanded and consolidated so that Limerick has some global clout and is a priority when companies are thinking of expansion.”

Director of Economic Development Dr. Pat Daly said: “Limerick is building up a reputation as a ‘can-do’ location for foreign direct investment.  The decision by ACI Worldwide to open its European Date Centre here in Limerick will hopefully act as a magnet for other companies to look at basing themselves here.”

“I’m also delighted that this is an expansion of an existing company based here.  ACI Worldwide already employs almost 100 people and this expansion points to the confidence they have in Limerick as a location.”

The company has had a presence in Limerick for ten years and has partnered with the University of Limerick among other educational institutions.
