Facebook is set to significantly expand its Irish presence and has secured additional office space in the capital.
It can fit up to 2,000 workers in its current HQ and will add space for 800 more in the north docklands, according to The Irish Independent.
"When you're growing users and business ... we need to scale up. We've been very successful here in Ireland at delivering results for Facebook. So we continue to get investment," Facebook's Irish boss Gareth Lambe told the newspaper.
It currently employs 1,600 people in Ireland.

"We have seen the economy progress over the last several months in exactly the way we anticipated ... We have some confidence in the path the economy is on," Fed chair Janet Yellen stated.
Like the ECB - the US has a target rate of 2%.
