Eli Lilly’s €200m Cork expansion set to continue

A €200m expansion at Eli Lilly near Kinsale, Co Cork is not believed to be under threat despite the pharmaceutical company saying it is to cut 3,500 jobs worldwide as well as a number of its global facilities. 

The company employs more than 1,000 people in Ireland in manufacturing and sales, including more than 500 in Kinsale.

However, it did not rule out job losses in Ireland.
