In June 2015, together with IDA Ireland, I was delighted to welcome plans by Moss Vision to establish a facility in Roscommon town to manufacture ophthalmic products. The facility will also act as a sales, marketing and distribution centre for the company’s European operations. The job target is for 50 positions to be created over a seven year period. There are currently six people employed by the company in Roscommon, with further positions expected to be filled this year. I understand as well that production is planned to begin at the facility later this summer and that more hiring will take place thereafter, in line with the company’s business and production requirements.
