JOBS MINISTER RICHARD Bruton has announced 140 new jobs for Limerick as part of a European expansion by Canadian company Optel Vision.
Those looking for work will see jobs advertised over the next three years in engineering, design, assembly, testing, customer support, sales, HR, finance and administration.
Recruitment has already started for some roles.
The engineering firm, which specialises in vision inspection solutions for manufacturing industries, is setting up its EMEA manufacturing and operations centre in the city.
Its products and systems for the pharmaceutical, medical devices and chemical industries help reduce the health risks associated with mislabelled products, dosage errors and mix-ups, while protecting genuine manufacturers against illegal counterfeiting.
Optel Vision is taking over the former ON Semiconductor facility at Raheen Business Park, with its CEO Louis Roy claiming it landed in Ireland for the country’s “highly skilled persons”.
The investment has been supported by the Department of Jobs, Innovation and Enterprise and IDA Ireland.

Split kilkenny in 2
The cats are alive and well.Meow!!
@James Leahy: still NO all Ireland for kilkenny
@Alan Moloney: how would you know oh wise one?
Dublin were very poor today. Once Kk got their first goal it was curtains for Dublin. Dublin were lucky Kilkenny didn’t play to their full potential as they would have been absolutely destroyed. The result/score was bad enough but Dublin never got going apart from a few players like Eoghan O’Donnell and there was no fight or pride in them. It was absolutely shocking
@DJ D: They were absolutely destroyed
@another one? what’s going on is the semi state sec: I was referring to Kilkenny not playing to their true potential because if they had it would have been 30 or 40 points in the difference. You might understand now!!!
@DJ D: irrelevant comment….. “If Kilkenny played to their true potential”…… Dublin didn’t turn up! That comment might mean something if Dublin played their best. What if Dublin played to their true potential, it would have been less of a score difference.
@DJ D: Hard luck Mrs O’Donnell .
@Gerry Campbell: Gobshyte
Leinster hurling is just KK and Galway. This year Galway not really at the races and it shows because noone else can step up to challenge. Tomorrow is the real deal though
@FoxyBoiiYT: “Galway not at the races”?!?!? They played 3/4 of the game against Dublin with 14 men.
Dublin gave KK way too much space. There is no marking in the first half at times. Tougher test ahead.
Leinster championships in football and hurling are a complete joke
@Tim & Emer Brennan: You clearly don’t watch leinster hurling
@S K: sorry kilkenny don’t break sweat
Dubs been beaten by double scores for a change
A day Dublin will hopefully educate ourselves from , But what goes on tomorrow in simple will have another question. To ask ourselves
Why are Dublin so crap at Hurling?
have your say
