Mahon print plant gears-up for production

THOMAS Crosbie Holdings, owners of the Irish Examiner, the Evening Echo, the Sunday Business Post and several regional newspapers, yesterday announced that Webprint Concepts will start printing its titles on January 23 next.

The outsourcing move will result in voluntary redundancies among production staff at the Irish Examiner.

Yesterday, 47 of the 56 print, dispatch and maintenance staff affected by the decision, and who had already accepted a voluntary redundancy package, were given their lay-off dates.
