Alchemy creates 170 jobs

ONE hundred and seventy full and part-time jobs are on the way for the South Tipperary town of Cahir.

Alchemy Properties, a subsidiary of the giant Dairygold Co-Operative Society Ltd, is planning a €15 million retail project in the town centre which will provide a massive boost for the local economy.

A five-acre zoned site on the main Cahir/Clonmel Road has been earmarked for the development, which will have more than 4,000 metres of conventional retail uses, an 800-metre garden centre, and provision for more than 200 car parking spaces.
