It's happening here on YouTube

WATCH
: Kudos to Enterprise Ireland for producing this slick three-minute video promoting the benefits of working at our indigenous software companies. The clip doesn't use well-known CEOs or entrepreneurs but instead features contributions from young staff and bosses interspersed with footage of Dublin.

And the video should make Dubliners proud of their city again.
