Up to 100 new jobs are to be created in Dublin by Irish pharmaceutical research company, APC Ltd.

The jobs were announced by the company as they officially opened a new state-of-the-art research facility, which will also act as its headquarters, in Cherrywood, Dublin.

Speaking at the launch, the Taoiseach Enda Kenny said: "I am delighted to welcome the announcement by APC of 100 new jobs in Dublin. This new research centre is a vote of confidence in Ireland and enhances our reputation as a leading location for pharmaceutical research and development.

"It is also a shining example of how a thriving business can grow from a bright idea once the right conditions are created by the right Government policies. The Government wants to keep the recovery going so that companies like APC can continue to grow and create jobs."
