New jobs expected for Roscommon

A jobs boost is expected to be announced in Roscommon today by the Minister for Enterprise, Jobs and Innovation Richard Bruton.

The Minister will announce the creation of about 100 jobs by a US company, the IDA Ireland chief Barry O’Leary indicated this morning.

The report today follows speculation that 10 multinational companies are expected to make significant investment announcements by the end of next month.

During the first four-and-a-half months of the year, more than 25 multinationals have announced that they are either opening or expanding in Ireland.
