Overlooking the river Shannon, EY Limerick’s centrally located and expanded office has the capacity to support the firm’s ambition to grow to a headcount of at least 100 people by 2020, providing much-needed jobs in the region. Employing over 2,000 people across the island of Ireland, EY has significantly boosted its pool of talent in the past six months alone, having announced the creation of 270 new jobs in June, with 170 of these positions already filled across its seven offices in Dublin, Belfast, Cork, Limerick, Waterford and Galway.
Speaking at the opening, Minister for Finance Michael Noonan T.D. commented: “I welcome the announcement by EY of the opening of their new premises. EY have contributed greatly to Limerick’s business environment for a number of decades and they are now looking to continue that relationship. This new office will benefit the current and future employees, it will also help this successful firm to grow their contribution to businesses around Limerick. It’s great to see yet another company choosing to locate in Limerick’s vibrant city centre. I wish EY great success with this move to their new offices.”
EY has been present in Limerick since 1980, first locating on O’Connell Street before moving to Hartstonge Street in 1982, and then later to Barrington Street in 1988 where it has been located since. Its move to Harvey’s Quay follows continued growth in the region, where it provides assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services to multinational and indigenous Irish companies, as well as entrepreneurs, high net worth individuals and family run businesses in Limerick and the wider Munster area.

The new office space on Harvey’s Quay features a large glazed façade with views of the River Shannon, a spacious open plan layout with five metre high ceilings and unique sit-stand workstations equipped with first-class technological features. The premises was chosen not only in response to the need for additional space to facilitate EY’s growth, but also to meet the needs of its growing client base who are increasingly seeking the convenience of a central location.

As we look towards our 2020 ambitions to expand to a team of over 100 people in Limerick, we are strongly committed to building on this established reputation and growing our footprint and client offering in the Mid-West. This new location, which is the only office space of its kind in the heart of the city, is the ideal space to facilitate these ambitions and the expansion our growing team of local talent.”
