Sky Ireland, the pay TV platform, will establish a call centre in Ireland this summer, in a move that will cost about 5 million Euro a year. The facility in Bishopstown, Co Cork, will employ 100 staff and will be managed by Abtran, an outsourcing services group. The investment comprises salaries, training expenses and the cost of equipment. Sky had 465,000 subscribers in Ireland at the end of 2006. To date, customer service activities for Ireland have been handled by two call centres in Scotland. Sky said it was the right time to establish a dedicated Irish facility to handle sales and marketing activities, as well as queries on technical problems and programming.
