100 jobs to go in meat factory
Parent company Dawn Meats has said it wants to amalgamate the boning work done in Rathdowney with its plant in Grannagh in Co Waterford, where all existing staff will be offered employment. Meadow Meats employs 150 staff at the Laois operation.
Some of those staff say they have been offered redundancy payments or alternative employment at Dawn’s operations in Kilkenny but others say they would not be able to move.
