Cork Gets Two New Healthcare Facilities
Two new healthcare facilities have opened at global healthcare leader MSD's site in Brinny, County Cork.
Research and Innovation Minister Sean Sherlock officially opened the centres this week.
The Brinny facility will employ 60 people initially through construction, commissioning, qualification and clinical supply phases and 30 highly qualified technicians long term, subject to clinical trial success.
The facility will have the capacity to produce 100 million doses of pneumococcal conjugate vaccine a year. Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine (PCV) protects infants from this life– threatening disease which is the leading cause of vaccine–preventable death in children less than 5 years old worldwide.
Speaking at the launch, Minister Sherlock said: “Continuous innovation plays a central role in Ireland’s future as a knowledge–based economy. The harnessing of the skills and creativity of the people here at Brinny has been instrumental in the decision by MSD to base these two facilities here, representing a financial investment of €28.6 million and the provision of 70 jobs.”
MSD in Ireland employs 2,300 people in Carlow, Cork, Dublin, Tipperary and Wicklow.
