Tipperary has a huge deal to offer multinational companies like Amneal and I look forward to assisting them as they set up their Cashel site. Access to talent and good infrastructure are vital for investments of this size – Amneal will find both here in Tipperary.
“The news will be a great boost to the county and the Cashel in general which will see the site dedicated to R&D and production of metered dose and dry powder inhalers (MDIs and DPIs) as well as biosimilars – all high-end specialty medications. In other words, world-class products being made and produced in the county.
“I look forward to working with Amneal to protect local jobs and to ensure that Cashel and surround areas will benefit economically from this investment,”
