They’ll be measuring soil content from farms all over the country.
Eoin O’Brien from IAS told KCLR news they will be hiring extra staff:
“We’re in the process of recruiting additional staff, up to 8 additional staff. We’ve currently advertisements out there for microbiologists, laboratory technicians as well as general workers and administration. It’s a hundred miles an hour at the moment in IAS so it’s great”.
