Boost for ‘jobs blackspot’ as Microchem announces 100 posts
The news will come as a boon to the area, which has been described locally as an unemployment blackspot following job losses at Waterford Crystal, Glanbia and Century Homes in recent years.
The expansion is being made by independent research and test plant Microchem Laboratories, which employs more than 100 people in the town after being founded 22 years ago by Ciaran and Anita Geoghegan.
