Harney denies she didn’t do enough to save plant

TÁNAISTE Mary Harney insisted yesterday that the IDA was close to finding a replacement plant for more than 300 Donegal workers who have lost their jobs.

US textile firm Unifi has announced the 311 workers at its Letterkenny plant would lose their jobs in October as it cannot continue to sustain its losses.

This prompted SIPTU to accuse the Tánaiste and Enterprise and Employment Minister Mary Harney of failing to do enough to save the jobs.
