Bord na Móna has announced plans to create 300 new jobs as part of a major expansion into green technologies.The semi-state company says the positions will be created in areas like biomass production, wind energy, resource recovery and environmental solutions. The production of peat from Irish bogs is due to be phased out over the coming 15 years.
However, Bord na Mona says it plans to develop wind farms on many of its bogs across the country and also hopes to become the market leader in organic waste recovery.
