WORKERS at the Fulflex plant in Limerick, which ceased production last Friday, have agreed a redundancy package worth almost five weeks pay per year of service.

A LIMERICK company which is closing on May 5 with the loss of more than 100 jobs has been accused of being mean-spirited in the redundancy package offered to workers.

ONE of Limerick’s longest established industries is to close with the loss of more than 100 jobs, citing high labour costs as a major cause for relocation to a lower cost economy.

One hundred and eight jobs are to go at an elastic goods manufacturers in Limerick, it was announced this afternoon.
