    Hi

    Can't see anywhere more appropriate to post this.

    Anyone know where Facebook is locating in Dublin ? They announced an EMEA support centre in Dub today.

    Thanks

    Max

    It wasn't mentioned on the news so chances are there's nothing in place yet.

    Guessing Blanchardstown will get it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,260 ✭✭✭jdivision


    Thinking city centre, near google tbh


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    Does it really matter though?
    There's plenty of other offices where other companies are based.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 388 ✭✭redroar1942


    Seeing as the OP asked a specific question as to where the location is, I think it does matter.

    I'd like to know this too.

    I used to work in Google in the city centre, but had to leave due to the commute. I'd be thinking of applying to Facebook if they were based somewhere on the southside but can't find any mention of their actual location in any of the press releases.

    No further clues in the press release... http://www.entemp.ie/press/2008/20081002.htm


  • Registered Users Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Max001


    Oh thanks....very helpful !:rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,566 ✭✭✭Gillo


    OK, it was asked as a genuine question sorry about that, I was refering to the fact that it'll be just a faceless (no pun intended) office / building, it wouldn't matter what city it's in, New York, London, LA, Skibbereen etc

    Yeah, if you are looking for an IT job, they might be a good company to work for, but you may also want to look at these.

    You know Max, when I do find out now I'll rush back here to let you know... Stay close to your PC won't you.


  • Registered Users Posts: 50 ✭✭kanoute696


    any news on this - facebooks dublin office location?..


  • Registered Users Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Max001


    Well thanks Spin, any time there's no news, nothing to tell,
    nothings changed and the status quo is maintained, or when we'd
    like to hear nothing in particular, hold the
    front page, we'll call Spin for the latest ! :rolleyes:

    Oh, by the by, I nearly forgot, F'book hasn't yet chosen their premises.
    Got that from their IDA liaison.

    Probably will be out of Dublin as land as rent is cheaper e.g. Leixlip

    Tanáiste and Minister for Enterprise Trade & Employment, Mary Coughlan TD announced today (Thursday 2nd October 2008) that Facebook, the world’s leading social networking site, is to establish its international headquarters in Dublin.

    Yes thats Dublin, County Kildare. :rolleyes:


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,194 ✭✭✭✭Crash


    It'll either be city centre, or one of the IDA parks out blanch way surely? facebook wouldnt have the footprint to make a move out to kildare an intelligent move anyhow, even if it wasnt already listed as a Dublin office.

    "The company will focus its search in Dublin city centre and a suburban location is unlikely to be chosen."

    Accodring to these guys

    A search of the CRO website shows up Facebook Ireland Limited as having a registered address at 6TH FLOOR, SOUTH BANK HOUSE, BARROW STREET,
    DUBLIN 4.

    But I think that whole building is a solicitor's office (Mason Hayes and Curran) so maybe they just used their solicitor's address to register the company.

    Anyone know if MHC occupy that entire building?

    They do afaik


  • Registered Users Posts: 874 ✭✭✭Max001

    Ya ain't seen nothing yet. I'll report back after I've abseiled down to the 6th floor of South Bank House, with box of Milk Tray in the back-pack.

    Have any of you by any chance got any contact numbers for facebook yet?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,260 ✭✭✭jdivision


    They still haven't opened their own office. If they are already open it's via serviced offices, somewhere like Regus. Sorry I can't be of more help than that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Bovriladdict


    No. prob. I see they're advertising jobs on the site so the office must be coming up soon.


  • Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators Posts: 21,637 Mod ✭✭✭✭helimachoptor


    Facebook will be moving into the Digital Hub.


  • Registered Users Posts: 371 ✭✭bealbocht


    digital hub, thats Thomas St / the Liberties , 10 mins walk from Christchurch, 20 from O'Connell St ..


  • Registered Users Posts: 622 ✭✭✭Solarball10


    Is there a site where you can apply for jobs in their Dublin office? When are they actually opening it?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Bovriladdict


    I saw some on the facebook website itself. Takes a bit of work to filter down. Jobs are listed by type, not location. Thanks for the tip fellas about the location.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 Bovriladdict


    Bealbocht, I checked out Facebook at the digital hub and they're not there. Got any other leads?
