Pharmaceutical giant sheds 25 jobs at Co Clare plant
The 242 workers at the Clarecastle plant were informed by management yesterday of the cuts, while management at the group’s Citywest site in Dublin confirmed that it is reviewing its own local business strategy, confirming only that the small number of vacancies at Citywest, where 73 people are employed, will not be filled.
The reductions outlined yesterday by the group “is in response to future lower production demand, which aims to optimise operating efficiencies across the Roche group worldwide” according to a statement.
