Marine sector initiative to create 250 jobs could be national model
Agriculture, Food and Marine Minister Simon Coveney said he is hugely optimistic that the high-level job creation group in Killybegs can reach its job creation targets.
The fishing sector already employs 1,200 people in the area. Many of the new jobs will be in seafood processing, but the other partners in the group also hope to see jobs created in offshore and ancillary services, tourism, energy generation and marine education.
