Dairygold plan new €15.6m R&D centre

A new €15.6m research and development centre is to be constructed at Dairygold's facility in Mitchelstown in Co Cork.

The new centre, supported by Enterprise Ireland, will be operational by the end of 2007 and will employ 15 researchers. Ultimately, the R&D centre will have a capacity for a total of 50 personnel and it is expected that this capacity will be reached post 2007.
