65 jobs to be lost in Limerick

A LIMERICK company which installed the floodlighting at Thomond Park and the new greyhound stadium in the city has gone into liquidation with the loss of 50 jobs.

G Clancy (Contractors) Ltd is understood to be owed €1.1 million for work carried out and has been forced to close after 36 years in business.

A source close to the company said: “It is as simple as this: The company is closing because they can’t get paid. It is a vicious circle at the moment and nobody can get paid. As a result you have 50 people losing their jobs, including electricians, apprentices and office staff.”
