170 new high-skilled jobs for midlands

THE midlands region is to benefit from 170 extra jobs created by US multinationals, involving investment of over €7 million, Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin has announced.

The jobs will be located in Roscommon, Athlone and Longford and will all be in the key knowledge based sectors. They will be based in three new facilities and one existing operation and will service global markets.

Minister Martin said, “the diverse nature of these investments and their geographic spread is a further endorsement of Ireland’s ability to attract leading-edge high-value investments across a range of sectors.”
