Project Overview
Jazz Pharmaceuticals has started construction on a new manufacturing and development facility in Monksland, County Roscommon, Ireland. This is the company's first manufacturing facility, located approximately 75 miles east of its Dublin headquarters.
Investment and Timeline
The facility will cost between $60 and $68 million (€45 – €50 million) and is expected to be completed by 2016. The investment covers construction, development, and personnel costs for the 55,000 ft² (5,100 m²) facility.
Job Creation
The project will create 160 jobs during the construction phase and up to 50 permanent jobs once the facility is fully operational. This development is seen as a significant boost for the local area, providing opportunities for those who have lost jobs in recent years.

The ground-breaking ceremony was attended by key figures, including the Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, Mr. Enda Kenny TD, and Mr. Barry O'Leary, CEO of IDA Ireland.
