Kenny Welcomes 280 Baldoyle Jobs Boost

Labour Party T.D., for Dublin North East, Seán Kenny has welcomed the announcement that 280 new jobs will be created by the pharmaceutical manufacturer Mylan in Dublin North East.

Mr Kenny said the hi-tech jobs, which will be based in Gerard Laboratories, in Baldoyle, were a welcome boost to Dublin North East and an extremely positive development for the life sciences sector in Ireland.

"This announcement of 280 new jobs is great news for Baldoyle and for Dublin. It is a further sign that Ireland is attractive as a location for investment. Mylan, who is responsible for this investment, is a key member of the Irish pharmaceutical sector, providing high quality generic pharmaceuticals and over the counter medicines around the world.

"At a time when unemployment is at very high levels, this announcement shows that Dublin North East is able to entice investment and the creation of jobs along with that investment. Jobs and investment are the only way that our economy will ever properly recover. I think that this announcement further proves the Government's commitment to creating new jobs. It also shows that Ireland has the skilled workforce needed to bring in major employers like this, and I will continue to work to ensure that Dublin North East is able to benefit from investments made by companies in Ireland.

"Through annual investment of up to €76m over the next few years, Mylan will add more than 500 new positions to its Ireland-based workforce by 2016. A total of 280 of these jobs will be based in Dublin, with the remainder in Galway. The investment, which is being supported by IDA Ireland, will include an expansion of Mylan's research and development (R&D) capabilities here. I want to compliment the IDA for the work they have done in attracting this investment."
