Plans to cut 35 jobs at power generating plant

PLANS by Endesa to reduce its workforce by 35 at its electricity generating plant, in north Kerry, were greeted by disappointment in the area yesterday.

The Spanish energy giant, which took over the ESB station at Tarbert Island almost two years ago, is entering negotiations with trades unions to cut the workforce from 90 to 55.

It is also understood the company is looking for job reductions at its generating plant in Great Island, in Wexford.
