Description

Carraig Donn, an indigenous Irish craft and knitwear firm is to expand its operations in Westport, County Mayo, after proposing 150 new posts. The knitwear company has said that the expansion is possible due to capacity in its export markets, as well as the strength of its online business. The family-run craft business dates back to 1965, and presently employs 300 staff.

A timeline for the business expansion is not yet known.
