DUBLIN (Reuters) – Online social networking site Facebook will set up its international operations center in Dublin, officials said on Thursday.

“After exploring various locations throughout the region, we decided Ireland was the best place to establish our new headquarters,” Facebook’s Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg said in a statement.

The Dublin center will provide a range of online technical sales and operations support services to Facebook users across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, the statement said without giving further details.
