Ninety jobs are being announced by a Donegal-based company this morning.

Connective Energy Holdings Limited says it plans to create the positions in its operations across Ireland over the next two years.

The company is a specialist bio-energy producer, producing renewable energy for the food and drinks industry.

The first of six anaerobic digestion facilities is at construction stage at Glenmore Estate in Aghaveagh in Co Donegal and will provide 15 full time jobs when commissioned this year.

A further two facilities, one in County Down and one in North County Dublin, will also be built this year and three more next year.

Mr Brendan McSorley, Development Manager of Connective Energy Holdings Limited, said: "These anaerobic digesters will each produce enough biogas to run a 4 MW power plant – enough to power over 1,700 homes via renewable energy."
