    Assuming I have not been given a bum steer I know who it is but am sworn to secrecy! It is manufacturing, the company in question has a plant in the Greater Dublin area but has not got the capacity to increase production for the customer in question (which is a Waterford company).

    Just speculating, somebody mentioned Bray.

    Worked with a guy a few years ago who had worked in Nypro, we got talking about the factory that was there (some set-up) and why it closed. He said he heard there were rumors that that were looking at Waterford again. That was about 3 years ago and nothing ever came of it.

    I've heard 200-250 jobs from a pharma company,

    Regardless of if its 150 jobs or 250 jobs I find it amusing that some people will still claim this isn't enough, in all honesty what do you want? Do you honestly expect a company to suddenly setup and offer 2k jobs overnight?

    If it is a pharma company setting up shop this is good news but I guess some people still like to **** on any good news that comes Waterford's way

    I think sometimes my anger on how waterford has suffered takes over.
    I am not knocking any jobs announcement for waterford. Any jobs announcement is always good news.

    I just fear it will be a case of here's a few jobs and then in the coming weeks downgrade the hospital and once again it will be sometime before anything else positive is done for waterford.

    I hope im proved wrong and this is the beginning of recovery for waterford.

    Say it is 200 jobs on the industrial wage or even a bit under it. That is the bones of 5/6m a year into the local economy, you'd hope that might lead to jobs in retail,services and so on.

    They will be in Eishtec tomorrow but just because they are in town, announcement more than likely for jobs elsewhere.

    So wait, Enda is coming down to Waterford to announce jobs for another county?

    If he really wanted to troll, he could announce jobs for Kilkenny. :pac:

    From what I can see in the paper, the only new thing on the IDA is that SunLife Financial has been bought out by Delaware Life Holdings. They do currently have jobs now listed on their site. Possibly this is what the news is about? Any jobs are good news, maybe its something else. I don't see why Enda would come down over a company take-over, but you never know.

    Word on the street this morning is the company in question are Nypro who are coming back to Waterford again, they've aquired a contract to make some sort of packaging for B&L and they will be relocating back in their original building on the industrial estate. This building is currently been used by Waterford Stanley who have been told they need to be out of the building by September.

    Whether this is accurate information or that, it excellent news for the City that we are getting in the region of 200+ new jobs.

    The old TalkTalk building has been fully gutted over the past few weeks and was looked today like it was ready for whatever is going in there....
    Schivo Precision are moving in there from their current location in the coming weeks.
    There will be some new jobs, but nothing like 150 jobs.

    I reckon it's nypro. The crowd I work for have a huge order with them from their Dublin plant and they can't deliver as quickly as we'd like.

    Could be B + L, they've been hiring people consistently for months now. And are likely expanding even more.

    And it could be Nypro a well as that.
