Apple is adding 1,000 new jobs at its office in Cork, Ireland, Reuters reports.
The company is currently under investigation by the European Union over whether the tax breaks it enjoys in Ireland are legal, but Ireland’s Finance Minister Michael Noonan said the new hiring shows the controversy “hasn’t affected their enthusiasm for Ireland.” The company already employs 5,000 workers at the Cork facility and announced the construction of a new 850 million euro data center earlier this year.
