Factory closure spells emigration for many staff
The American-owned company is to cease production in Caherciveen, at the end of this month, with the loss of 147 jobs, and 98 employees at its Tralee plant have been placed on protective notice.
One of the Caherciveen workers, Paudie O'Shea, who has been employed there for 10 years, said the only option that looked open to him was emigration as there were so few employment opportunities in the area.
