The Chinese fast-fashion retailer aims to add 30 jobs in Ireland this year after opening a new regional hub in Dublin. The Dublin city centre office will become the firm’s Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) headquarters and host Shein’s strategic IT hub for the region. Shein said it was looking to increase staff numbers in Ireland beyond 30 as the company grows. The news comes after tech firms led a 21pc jump in foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in Ireland last year, according to consultants EY. Ireland attracted 184 new or expansion projects last year, up from 152 in 2021, with almost half located outside Dublin.
