Some 70 new jobs have been announced for Dublin.

Outsource services group OSG is creating the positions in their Sandymount office, and hopes to fill them all by the end of this year.

The positions include sales, customer service, administration and claims handling.

The firm says this is due to increased demand for their services from current clients and new businesses, both domestically and internationally.

This will bring OSG's workforce to almost 500 people across eight service centres nationwide.

OSG CEO, Malcolm Hughes, says a lot of skills can be picked up in-house.
