The group operates a number of quarry locations in Kerry and North Cork and it also has a manufacturing plant for its Thermohouse low energy building system in Coolcashlagh, Killarney which supplies the Irish and UK construction sector.
MC Group currently employs 85 full-time staff in Ireland and the UK.

Managing Director, Mike Cronin, remarked: “Recruitment is beginning immediately and it is envisaged that new employees will start over the next three months.”
The news has been welcomed by Deputy Michael Healy-Rae who said it is great to see a family business that started out from humble beginnings growing into a major employer.
“This has happened through sheer hard work and determination to succeed and by providing an excellent service and products,” he said.
