Apple to open first permanent Dublin office with capacity for 300 staff

Apple will open its first permanent office in Dublin later this year, creating space for up to 300 employees as the company expands its Irish operations.

The new office will be located at Park Place in Dublin 2, close to the Iveagh Gardens. Staff are expected to begin moving into the city-centre premises later this year, with recruitment already under way.

While Apple has operated in Ireland for more than four decades, this marks the first time the company will have a permanent base in the capital. Its main Irish hub remains at the Hollyhill campus in Cork, where the company first established operations in 1980.

The Dublin announcement coincided with the official opening of a fifth building at Apple’s Cork campus, reinforcing the company’s long-term investment in Ireland.

Cathy Kearney, Apple’s vice president of operations, said the company was proud to expand its footprint. She noted that Apple’s 6,000 employees in Ireland play a key role in supporting customers across Europe and beyond.

Opening the new Cork facility, Taoiseach Micheál Martin described Apple’s contribution to Ireland over the past 45 years as significant, citing thousands of high-skilled jobs and sustained investment.

Apple employs more than 6,000 people in Ireland, primarily in Cork across engineering, manufacturing, AppleCare and customer support. The company confirmed the Dublin office will work closely with its Cork teams as part of its broader European operations.

Apple is currently the second most valuable company in the world and accounted for more than a fifth of Ireland’s corporation tax receipts in 2024.
