Facebook is to hire an additional 1,000 people in Ireland over the course of 2019.
The extra roles will be created across the social media giants' engineering, safety, legal, policy, marketing and sales teams.
The announcement was made by the company's COO Sheryl Sandberg.
Mrs Sandberg is in Dublin for events including Facebook's 'Gather' event in Croke Park.
Facebook is also set to triple its investment in online safety programmes - run by the National Anti-Bullying Centre and SpunOut.ie - to €1 million.
Speaking in Dublin, Mrs Sandberg also acknowledged that Facebook is a very different company than it was a year ago.
She pledged that the company will continue to tackle areas that have proven controversial for the social media - such as fake news, election interference and more transparency on the decisions it makes.
