Good news on the jobs front as 150 new jobs are to be created in Monaghan with the opening of a state of the art mushroom growing facility at Tyholland.
This €10m development on the outskirts of Monaghan town will create an additional 150 jobs and is to be opened later this morning by the Minister for Agriculture, Brendan Smith.
The new development will allow Monaghan Mushrooms increase its market share in the UK and Irish markets. The company already employs over 2,000 people in Ireland and overseas.
The new facility consists of 18 mushroom growing houses and is far larger and more productive than traditional mushroom tunnels.
