Pharma Jobs Boost For Carlow

Around 60 new jobs are to be created in Carlow by the pharmaceutical facility, Merck Sharp & Dohme.

The recession-beating jobs are the result of the construction of a new €20m vaccines and biologics facility in the town this year.

The firm says 170 people will be employed when the facility opens in 2011.

Merck's Dr Michael Thien said that the additional investment 'is a further indication of Merck Sharp & Dohme's long-term commitment to Ireland and Carlow'.
