700 new jobs for Galway and Cavan
US health care giant Abbott Laboratories is to create a total of 700 new jobs in the Irish Republic.
In two separate developments over the next five years, Abbott is to develop a research and development centre and expand production facilities at their plant in Galway. The plant will see 600 posts created, and an extension of the nutritional manufacturing centre in Cootehill, County Cavan, where a further 100 staff will be recruited.
Deputy Irish premier and Enterprise, Trade and Employment Minister Mary Harney said the investment would further enhance the reputation of Ireland as "a world-recognised location" for the manufacture and development of medical devices.
Abbott Laboratories first came to Ireland in 1946 when it established a marketing company in Dublin.
The company now employs up to 1,800 people in Sligo, Donegal, Galway and Cootehill.
