Job creation focus on Dungarvan promised

STATE agencies will focus on job creation in Dungarvan, Co Waterford, Transport Minister Martin Cullen has vowed.

Negotiations between unions and management at Waterford Crystal continue as the company bids to shed 485 jobs and close its Dungarvan operation from the end of the summer.

Now Mr Cullen says that the area is not being ignored and that decentralisation is pressing ahead at speed in the region.
