Jobs Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor said it shows Ireland continues to attract investment from major international businesses:
"Ireland has been very successful in attracting investment projects from many of the big international players across a range of sectors.
"We intend to be just as successful in securing investment from the rising generation of early stage, high growth companies as well. It is terrific news that this group of companies, who are at the forefront of their technologies have decided to locate in Ireland and I look forward to their future expansion here."
Taoiseach Enda Kenny commented:
"The Government remain strongly focused on employment and on the implementation of our annual Action Plan for Jobs. Earlier this week the Cabinet signed off on the Third Quarterly Report on the Action Plan for Jobs 2016. Under the Action Plan 176,000 new jobs have been created. I would like to thank the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and her officials for the hard work they are undertaking."
Ireland's ability to attract foreign direct investment is considered crucial to our economic success in the aftermath of the Brexit vote.
However, the North's First Minister Arlene Foster accused the Republic last week of poaching business from the six counties.
