Up to 400 computer industry jobs are to be created by an American company in Waterford.
A high-tech manufacturing plant is to be built there by Nypro, a 50 per cent -Irish owned company in a joint venture with the US-based Nypro Corporation.
Initially, the plant will assemble products for a major client in the computer sector.
The same company already employs 400 people in Bray, Co Wicklow. Its new Waterford base is expected to be operational by June.
