An Taoiseach Enda Kenny TD said: "I welcome the decision by Nypro to establish a new medical device manufacturing facility in Waterford with the creation of over 200 highly skilled jobs as it is a significant boon for the whole South East. The recent experience of Nypro - reinvention and refocusing on growing sectors, resonates with the wider Irish economy. Through the Government's Action Plan for Jobs we are refocusing the entire economy back to exports, enterprise and innovation. As the transition of the economy continues there will be more job opportunities for Waterford and the South East. Nypro's investment in Waterford is a massive vote of confidence for the region and will bring new, high-quality jobs."

Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton TD said: "The South East has suffered disproportionately from unemployment over the years, and shortly after taking office I established the South East Forum with a plan to address these problems. Since then we have seen major progress, including several significant jobs announcements and a tripling of the number of site visits by IDA Ireland. Today's announcement that Nypro, a world-leading company with established operations in Ireland, is locating a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Waterford with the creation of over 200 high-end jobs is an enormous boost for the region. It is also a further significant boost for employment in Ireland as we continue to implement our Action Plan for Jobs."
