The news that 470 jobs are to be created by Randox Teo in Dungloe has been warmly welcomed by Independent MEP Marian Harkin, who has described it as “long overdue good news for Ireland’s most deprived county”.
She told Donegal Daily that it was also proof that high tech companies can come to the North West – and showed other government agencies could do more.
“The fact that such a sophisticated medical diagnostics company can decide to locate a high tech industry in one of Ireland’s, and Europe’s, most peripheral and disadvantaged areas raises questions about repeated political and IDA assertions that such projects, by the choice of their promoters, can only be created on the east coast and in the major cities,” Harkin said.
“Hopefully this project will afford good long term, secure jobs for the many who are currently unemployed or for the many immigrants who will be only too willing to return to Donegal.”
