Jobs boost for Limerick as CPL announce €20m investment

One hundred and forty two new jobs are being announced for Limerick this morning, as part of a €20m investment by CPL.

The company is one of the largest makers of smokeless fuels in Europe.

The jobs will come on stream by 2015 as CPL builds a new bio-fuels plant at the Port of Foynes.

The plans come as the government here and politicians in Northern Ireland prepare to ban smoky coal by 2016.
