The Mayor of the City and County of Limerick, Cllr Liam Galvin today congratulated Uber on the opening of its first Centre of Excellence (COE) outside of the United States at Thomas Street in Limerick City.
"The opening of this Centre is a good example of the significant investment taking place in the heart of the city," said Mayor Galvin, who added, "A thriving Limerick City is central to the fortunes and future development of the County and indeed, the wider Mid West Region."
Conn Murray, Chief Executive, Limerick City and County Council commented: "Limerick City and County Council is committed to working closely with Uber to help the company consolidate and grow its operation here. We know that every job created and every euro invested in the city represents another building block in the process of cementing Limerick's position as a thriving, modern, attractive city."
The Limerick COE is Uber's first outside of the United States and will be supporting the 36 cities throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) where Uber operates. The centre will employ hundreds of staff once fully operational and will be crucial to driving Uber's growth across the region, according to the company.
