A Killarney-based company has installed 2,000 solar panels on the roof space of its manufacturing base in the town which it says will provide it with a quarter of its electricity needs

It was established in a laneway in Killarney almost 50 years ago. Today, its operations comprise 12 companies across Europe, with manufacturing operations in six of these sites.Taoiseach Micheál Martin visited the company's headquarters in Killarney today to mark the beginning of its sustainability and expansion programme.

The company says the total reduction in emissions from this combined Solar PV and heat pump project will equate to 3.6 tonnes of carbon dioxide per year, equivalent to the emissions saved from powering 300 houses. The company also said today that it hopes to generate another 200 jobs within its operations over the next year."The success we have as a company is fuelled by the dedication and commitment of our employees, who play a pivotal role in the initiatives which underpin our growth, namely innovation and sustainability," he said.

"In many cases, these products and services were essential - supporting expansion projects for hospitals, defence forces, care homes, and manufacturing sites, and supporting the increase production of ventilators.

Why isn’t every company doing this so that’s it’s no longer a news story

Great to see. Couldn't every Irish public building have the same, as a first step at least Practice what the govt preach etc. Schools have tried but planning has created headaches/not straight forward process.

You know you don't have to feature every single corporate press release you receive as a news story?
