Facebook is expanding significantly in Ireland and is currently looking for a new headquarters in Dublin.

If the multinational is successful in its search it looks like they could create over a 1000 new jobs .

Facebook has hired real estate agent DTZ to help them find a new base as they are out growing their current home in Silicon Docks in the heart of Dublin.

However the search for a new HQ will prove to be very difficult as office space in Dublin of that size is hard to find .

Facebook are currently building a Data centre in Clonee outside of Dublin at a cost of € 200 million and over 600 construction jobs on the site .

If Facebook are successful in securing a new HQ site the companies staff number would reach over 2500 .
