Closures to result in 150 job losses

MORE than 150 people discovered yesterday that they are to lose their jobs as companies in Clare and Kildare announced closures.

In Ennis, electrical contracting company RSEL announced it will go into liquidation with the loss of 83 full-time staff and 16 FÁS apprentices.

On Tuesday the company had asked the High Court to appoint a liquidator so that it could begin winding down operations.
