MSDThat north Dublin site produced fertility and women's health products but ceased operations last year, with the loss of 570 jobs. It is understood that MSD originally looked for a buyer for the site but have now decided to reuse it for this new purpose-built high tech facility. An MSD Ireland spokesperson told Independent.ie that "the decision to locate this new facility in Ireland is a testament to the talent of MSD’s Irish employees and the high standard of our existing operations". Managing Director of MSD Ireland Human Health and head of the MSD Ireland country leadership team Ger Brennan told RTE Radio 1that MSD are looking for graduates and people in early stages of their career for the new roles.
