Quinn criticised as 300 workers forced to relocate

THE billionaire owner of Quinn Healthcare has been criticised for reneging on a promise to keep his headquarters in Fermoy.

The north Cork town has been left shell-shocked following yesterday’s announcement that 300 workers at the healthcare group are to have their jobs relocated to Little Island.

It was the second jobs blow for Fermoy in less than two weeks. On February 25, electronics company Sanmina SCI announced it was laying off 130 employees at its factory in the town.
