Making the announcement yesterday, 11 February, Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation, Heather Humphreys, TD, said: "I am delighted to be here at Joulica's HQ today to announce 45 new highly-skilled jobs in Galway. This time last year, Joulica had 11 employees. Since then, they have increased that number to 25, and over the next three years, they will increase it again to 70. This wonderful achievement is a testament to the innovation and dedication of the team. Companies like Joulica are vital components of a robust regional economy, something that the Government is committed to supporting. I would like to congratulate Tony McCormack, Joseph Smyth, Diarmuid Leonard and the team at Joulica on this remarkable achievement and wish them every success as their business continues to grow."

The development is supported by the government through Enterprise Ireland's Research, Development and Innovation Fund.
