Fáilte,

Today we are officially launching the Google Ireland blog, a dedicated space designed to bring you closer to the stories, innovations and community that shape Google’s presence in Ireland.

As someone who has seen firsthand the incredible growth and creativity within our EMEA headquarters and across Ireland, I am thrilled to introduce this platform. Whether you are a customer, partner, a local business owner, a member of our community, or simply curious about our work, this blog will serve as your primary source for all things Google Ireland.

Ireland is home to over 6,000 Googlers from across the globe. Since opening our first office here over two decades ago, we have grown significantly in both size and impact.

Google Ireland is a reflection of Google’s global operations, serving as a critical hub for dozens of functions and teams. We also are home to over 1000 engineers dedicated to building impactful, world-class solutions for Google products and users globally.

Through this blog, we will take you behind the scenes: from local AI innovations and product updates to community partnerships and direct insights from our team.

We’re excited to share what’s coming next with you.
