Bord na Móna launches major climate-conscious jobs push

Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the Bord na Móna announcement at the site of its €100m Cloncreen wind farm.

Bord na Móna has said it will create more than 1,400 jobs – mainly in the midlands region – within the next five years as it continues its transformation from a peat producer to a renewables and clean energy provider.

The semi-state company has already filled 550 of the positions over the past 18 months through its peatland rehabilitation process and the development of its renewable energy, carbon storage and recycling infrastructure interests.
