IDA Ireland CEO Martin Shanahan said the announcement was “excellent news.”
“It will add to the growing cluster of life sciences companies in Ireland,” he said.
“The availability of this range of clinical and pharmaceutical services will increase the attractiveness of Ireland as an international base for early stage speciality Biopharma companies.
“It is also proof that Ireland is viewed as an attractive location in Europe for global companies seeking to provide stability around the evolving Brexit situation.”
PCI has already expanded its Irish operations by 30 people since the company acquired Millmount Healthcare last year.
