Speaking during a visit to Burnside Eurocyl, Minister Bruton said: "At the centre of the Government's plans for jobs and growth is creating a powerful engine of Irish exporting businesses. Throughout the country we have strong, family-owned manufacturing and engineering companies like Burnside, creating products and services to the highest standards for international markets. Companies like these can be the engine of Irish recovery, and through the Action Plan for Jobs we have put in place a range of measures to provide better supports for them, such as the Development Capital Scheme and the Foreign Earnings Deduction.

"I am delighted to be here for this very welcome announcement by Burnside Eurocyl that it is creating 25 jobs, I congratulate them on their achievement and wish them every success for the future."
