Abbott Ireland has received planning permission for extensions to its Cootehill plant in Co Monaghan.
The works will see the pharmaceutical company construct a warehouse extension with a new laboratory area, office space and staff facilities.
A tower extension will also be developed to facilitate ingredient storage and loading, and this extension will be positioned alongside existing towers.

Works will also include the provision of a bicycle shelter and car parking spaces with nine electric vehicle charging points.
The Planners Report noted that the works are "part of an overall global consolidation and specialisation effort" that is "vital to sustain Abbott Cootehill's future in this network".
