The decision provides a positive and welcome boost for Fermoy and the Cork Region and adds to the already significant level of investment in the biopharmaceutical related sector that Cork has succeeded in securing. It further substantiates the strength of the Cork region as a location of choice for companies looking to expand into the European market”.
