Jobs boost at Limerick languages company

LANGUAGE interpretation company Translit is joining a British consortium in a move which will create 40 new jobs.

The move will see a merger between Translit – which is located at Upper Mallow Street in Limerick city centre – and DA Language, a Manchester-based provider of interpreting services.

The new deal, which EY acted on as lead advisors, will create new opportunities for the Limerick-based firm in Ireland, Britain and further afield, offering language solutions to bridge communication gaps.

Some 40 new jobs have been created as a consequence of the merger, ten of which have been filled.
