Dublin Aerospace to create 150 jobs

Dublin Aerospace has announced plans to create 150 jobs over the next two years with recruitment already underway for the first 45.

The aircraft maintenance firm was set up after SR Technics pulled out of Dublin airport two years ago.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will be on hand to make the official jobs announcement this morning at the opening of a new landing gear centre at the company's plant.

The €4.5m facility is the only one of its kind in Ireland.

The new recruitment programme will see the company's staff numbers double between now and 2013.
