More job losses for South Kerry

TOURISM Minister John O’Donoghue was coming under pressure yesterday to act on the jobs crisis in his Kerry South constituency.

A huge factory premises will be empty, once again, in Killarney following the closure of the Sara Lee factory with the loss of 92 jobs. Sara Lee once had around 250 people on the Killarney payroll.

The factory had housed Pretty Polly, which once employed 1,000 people before Sara Lee arrived.
