It was announced yesterday that Vitalograph has created 50 new jobs at its manufacturing and R&D facility in Ennis, Co Clare.
The new roles will be across a number of positions including data analysts, software designers and engineers and Vitalograph expects to fill the positions over the coming six months.

More recently, the company has been working in collaboration with a number of leading pharmaceutical companies providing clinical trials of new drugs, particularly those used in the treatment of cough and other respiratory conditions.
The jobs announcement also coincides with the news that Vitalograph is to invest €12million in the Clare facility, where it currently employs 100 people.
Speaking this week, General Manager at Vitalograph Ireland, Frank Keane said, "We are delighted to announce a significant investment in the facility here in Ennis, along with the creation of 50 new jobs.
