Keelings investment to create 100 jobs

AN investment of €10 million by Keelings Group in north Dublin will create 100 additional jobs at the group’s fruit growing enterprise.

The investment, in a glasshouse at Keelings, St Margaret’s, Co Dublin, facilitates the extension of the Irish strawberry harvesting season right through to December, creating an additional 100 seasonal jobs in the process.

Keelings is the only strawberry grower to have taken such a significant step forward, a group statement said.
