Botox firm Allergan to spend €42m in Irish expansion

Botox maker Allergan has announced an additional €42m investment in its Irish operations, that will see it expand existing manufacturing capacity in Dublin and Co Mayo. 

The money will be invested in Allergan’s manufacturing facilities in Westport and Clonshaugh and will support increased manufacturing capabilities for current and future products.

The Westport facility produces Botox and Allergan’s range of eyecare products, while Clonshaugh in Dublin manufactures the company’s tablet-based medicines. The company did not break down how much of the investment would be made in each place.
