Fears for 250 jobs at Cappoquin
It looks like 250 jobs will go at Cappoquin as desperate efforts to save the firm failed. Talks to buy-out the troubled plant in Waterford failed. This impact of this news goes beyond the 250 workers directly impacted by the closure. There are about 50 suppliers and producers that will be affected.
Tourmakeady in Co. Mayo had some bad jobs news when local firm Caideil MP Teoranta announced that it would be closing with the loss of 32 jobs.
