140 job losses at Musgrave depot

MORE 140 workers at the Musgrave supermarket group’s Galway depot were yesterday told they would lose their jobs in June.

The Galway outlet will close in June as part of a restructuring of the company’s distribution network – 55 workers in Galway will be offered the chance to relocate to a Musgrave depot in Kildare.

The company yesterday confirmed that 70 full-time and up to 18 part-time jobs at the Galway depot will be lost with the closure of the depot on the Tuam Road, on the east of Galway city.
