80 New Jobs To Be Created By Tayto Park Expansion
The Tayto crisp factory and theme park in Co Meath is to create some 80 new jobs with an expansion to both sites.
Largo Foods and Tayto Park, owned by Ray Coyle, will both be expanded bringing the total work force to almost 800.
The Tayto-themed attraction was opened by the firm, who also manufacture Hunky Dorys, King and Perri products, in 2010.
"Little did I envisage four years ago when we started building Tayto Park that in two short years we would have welcomed 750,000 people to Tayto Park and all because people showed some interest in the bison we kept in the same field,” Mr Coyle told the Irish Independent.
He added: "We have spent €15m to date in developing Tayto Park and will spend another €2.1m this year.
"We see this as an investment, not only in this great Irish family attraction, but also in the people who work here."
