The latest recruitment drive will increase Ernst & Young’s workforce in Ireland by over a third,' said Ernst & Young's Ireland managing partner, Mike McKerr.

'We expect to substantially increase our revenues from key rapid-growth sectors within the next three to five years. To support this ambition, we are recruiting professionals at all levels, from graduates to partner, with the type of sector specific experience which will allow us to provide clients with the insight and advice they need grow their own business,' he added.
