An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny TD and Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Mary Mitchell O’Connor TD, will today join Shire leaders to formally open the company’s new offices at an event held in Dublin. 

Shire is a leading global biotechnology company focused on serving people with rare diseases and has products available in more than 100 countries.

The new headquarters will be located at the Miesian Plaza on Dublin’s Baggot Street.

Shire’s Headquarters office will move from its current location in Citywest. Emploees based at this building will move into Baggot Street in the coming months. 
  
The company has located one of its global corporate services teams in the building who provide support services across Shire’s global operations in the areas of procurement and finance. They are in the process of hiring 150 new employees to join this team.   
 
By the end of June 2017, approximately 300 Shire employees will be based at the Miesian Plaza. The leased space also provides additional accommodation as Shire’s requirements increase over time. 
 
Speaking today, An Taoiseach, Enda Kenny said, "I met the Shire CEO Dr Flemming Ørnskov at the World Economic Forum in Davos last January. I am glad they have chosen Ireland as the location for a further 150 jobs. This thriving company and their pioneering work in the field of bio-medicine is exactly the type of business we seek to attract. Our unemployment rate has gone from 15.2% to 6.4% and the Government will continue to work for a robust economy for all our people."
