FACEBOOK is to create 200 jobs at its international headquarters in Dublin.
The company said the full-time roles in sales, engineering and online operations will be filled by the end of the year.
"The announcement is a key milestone in Facebook's commitment to investing and growing its presence in Ireland," a Facebook spokesman said.
The social network giant recently doubled the size of its premises in Dublin's Silicon Docks, where it already employs 1,300 staff.
