Mr Nolan said: "I welcome the approval of this planning application by the city planners, which will see around 200 jobs being created by the company by mid-April.
"At a time when creating jobs is absolutely paramount, it is a great boost for Galway city for work to be beginning on this development, and I am encouraged by the fact that there is great potential for even more jobs to be created on the land adjacent to the site."
Mr Nolan also welcomed the recent announcement that OpenJaw are to create 10 new jobs in its regional office in Galway as part of an Enterprise Ireland-supported €3.3m R&D investment.
