Boston Scientific Boost Cork Construction Jobs

A boost to Ireland's construction jobs has been announced with the plans of a €30m development in Cork.

According to a report by the Irish Examiner Boston Scientific is to seek planning permission for the multi-million euro development in Cork, designed to secure the future of 600 jobs in the city.

If approved the development is expected to result in close to 200 jobs on and off-site in the construction phase.

The 100,000sq ft unit will be developed by Boston on their Model Farm Road campus but will be operated by Stryker - who earlier this year purchased Boston's neurovascular unit for €1.45 billion.

The 600 Boston Scientific workers employed in the Cork unit will transfer to Stryker and relocate production to the new clean room production facility when it is completed.

Boston Scientific will begin consultations with the local community this week.
