130 jobs to go as printing firm announces closure

A DUBLIN-based printing firm is to close, leaving 130 workers redundant after suffering serious financial loses.

It is the second devastating jobs blow for the Tallaght area of Dublin this year after biscuit maker Jacob’s decided to shut its factory, axing 230 jobs.

Microprint, the computer manual and magazine printing company, blamed competition from Britain, high costs and said it had been losing money on a weekly basis for several months.
