Wexford Minister Paul Kehoe has welcomed the announcement of 25 new jobs for the county in the medical devices manufacturing sector. The news comes as the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation announces 185 new jobs in 6 IDA Ireland client companies across the country today (Monday).
“The announcement by CRI of 25 new jobs is a significant development for Wexford. It is a positive step on the long road to recovery and a sign that things are moving in the right direction. The creation of even one job has a ripple effect within the county, effecting families and local businesses, providing greater stability and putting more money back into the hands of that community.
“CRI® Wexford, Ireland specializes in custom interventional balloon design and manufacturing. Over the next three years, the Wexford facility will expand to support operations at CRI’s four other locations in Indianapolis, Costa Rica and two locations in Minnesota.” “The Government’s Action Plan for Jobs is working, with over 100,000 new jobs created nationwide since its launch in February 2012, with unemployment in Wexford down 20% in this time period. The Government has a plan to replace all the jobs lost in the crash by 2018 to ensure that everyone feels the benefit of the ongoing economic recovery.”
