Kelloggs to expand in Ireland

Kellogg's is to create 80 jobs in Ireland.

The cereal giant is to set up an operations centre in Swords, Co Dublin.

Tánaiste Mary Harney said the IDA-backed project will provide jobs in marketing, sales, finance and human resources.

The facility will support the company's manufacturing and distribution operations throughout Europe.

Kellogg's area president Tim Mobsby said Ireland provided a cost-effective base with good access and communications to the EU.

Kellogg's has had a sales and marketing team of around 50 people in Ireland since 1980.
