Description
Pfizer is to create 300 jobs at three Irish sites - Grange Castle in West Dublin, Ringaskiddy (Co. Cork) and Newbridge (Co. Kildare) - over the next 2 - 3 years. The company announced an investment of €300m in its Irish operations to support the further development of the three sites. The new roles are highly skilled positions including analysts, technicians, engineers, scientists, technologists, quality specialists, data analysts and chemists.
Pfizer has been operating in Ireland since 1969 and has 4,000 workers across in six locations.
"This is a very important development as it expands Pfizer's role in Ireland from the manufacture of already approved medicines into supporting the earlier phases of new medicine development," the company said. Martin Shanahan, the CEO of IDA Ireland, said today's investment announcement and the substantial number of additional highly skilled roles across its three Irish sites is a huge vote of confidence in Ireland's investment environment.
Mr Shanahan said it again underscores Ireland's reputation as a global location of excellence for biopharmaceuticals.

Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
The retail banking sector is fertile ground for studying the impacts of digitalisation on work and employment. Financial services are increasingly provided online, without the intermediary of customer-facing institutions.
European labour markets have recovered strongly from COVID-19. By the end of 2021, little more than 18 months after the start of the pandemic, employment rates in the EU were almost at pre-crisis levels.
