“We have invested a lot of energy in a strategic and focused expansion into the UK infrastructure market. “The tunnel infrastructure sector has been a key area of focus for our company over the last number of years and we are delighted to be in a position today where we have not only created 41 new jobs, but more importantly secured the jobs of our existing 75 employees,” said Shay Murtagh Precast managing director Ciaran Murtagh. Through continued implementation of the Action Plan for Jobs, I am determined to ensure that we can see more announcements like this around the country over the coming years,” he added. “Today’s announcement that Shay Murtagh Precast has expanded to create 41 new jobs is great news for Mullingar and the surrounding region. “Manufacturing must be a particular focus as we seek to create the jobs we need, and last week we announced the establishment of a manufacturing development forum which will report back within six months on specific measures which we can take to develop this sector. “A central part of the Government’s plan for jobs and growth is creating a powerful engine of indigenous, export-focused companies,” said Ireland’s minister for jobs, enterprise and innovation Richard Bruton. Exports account for more than 75% of the company’s total sales. The jobs have been created to support its export-led growth. The company is also investing approximately €3m (£2.4m) in technology for the production of precast concrete tunnel segments. Menu Fast Index My Account FREE Newsletters Construction Index
