New Pipeline Brings 200 Jobs
A new gas pipeline between Kerry and Limerick will result in the creation of 200 jobs in the region.
The project has been welcomed in the area where construction jobs have dropped by over half.
The Commission for Energy Regulation has given the go-ahead for work on the pipeline for the Shannon Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal, in Tarbert, Co Kerry, to start.
The 26km pipeline will connect the terminal, at Kilcolgan Lower, Tarbert, to the national gas grid, west of Foynes, Co Limerick, bringing gas to Co Kerry for the first time.
The news comes after the government's announcement that an investment of €20 million had been finalized by medical company Merit Medical Systems’ for its facility in Galway.
Galway West Fianna Fáil TD Frank Fahey said the company's investment was for its Galway facility for the research and development of a new product and six highly-skilled jobs were to be created as a result.
Welcoming the announcement, Deputy Fahey said; “This is a significant investment by Merit Medical Systems in its Galway facility which was established in 1994. It is a further indication of Galway’s continuing attractiveness as a location for the development of high level R&D and new core products.
“The company employs 260 people in Galway already and this investment will create six new highly skilled positions to help in the development of a new product and to extend the range of existing products.”
