There's speculation Google could soon announce up to 400 new jobs in the docklands.

It's understood the tech giant is the favourite to take over a new office block under construction on Grand Canal Street, called the Velasco Building.

It's close to Google's HQ nearby on Barrow Street. Including contractors, the company employs around 7-thousand people in Ireland.

The Irish Independent's Adrian Weckler - who's broken the story - says he expects the dotted line to be signed in the coming weeks.

"It really is a statement of intent by the web giant in its investment in Dublin. There were a lot of fears that tech companies might hesitate to invest more in Ireland after the EU fine of Apple for 13 billion euro. This is a huge shot in the arm for Dublin."
