Dawn to invest €28m in R&D

A €28 million investment by Dawn Farm Foods, includes the development of a state-of-the-art meat science innovation centre at its food campus in Naas, Co Kildare.

One hundred new jobs will be created by the Enterprise Ireland-supported investment, announced yesterday by Enterprise Minister Micheál Martin, who especially welcomed the dedicated meat science centre, together with a programme of research and development (R&D)& projects.

He said these would help the company to respond quickly and innovatively to consumer demands, which are particularly focused on foods that are healthy and convenient without compromising on quality or cost.
