Following improvements in the British and Irish construction sectors, Ireland-based producer of bricks 3144 Lagan Brick will re-open a plant in Kingscourt in County Cavan, creating 30 new jobs in the area.

The company said brick manufacturing is anticipated to start at the new facility over the summer of 2015.

While 20 of the jobs will be generated immediately, ten will be created when the second kiln is in operation to achieve the company’s aim of having extra capacity of 8 million bricks in the long run.

Initially, the company will commission one kiln in the first phase of its new operation.

Due to the recession, Lagan Brick shut the facility in Kingscourt in 2012.

The existing annual demand for 30 million bricks is met by imports.
