AUDI create 20 new Sligo jobs

German car maker AUDI has announced plans to invest €80 million in ten garages across Ireland, which will help to create 200 new jobs. Sligo will benefit as 20 new jobs will be established.

New dealerships are being built in Waterford and north Dublin, while the company is seeking a site on which to build a large garage in south Dublin.

The company’s first Irish terminal is due to open in Sligo on Friday 9th December where the 20 jobs will be based.

Audi says that, despite Ireland’s economic woes, sales are up 25 per cent this year. “We are shooting for double-digit growth in 2012,” said Andrew Doyle managing director of Audi Ireland.
