Fears for 85 jobs at Boston Scientific plant in Galway

THERE were growing concerns last night for up to 85 jobs at the largest multinational in the west.

Management at Boston Scientific in Galway, which employs around 2,800 staff, have declined to comment on the speculation.

It is believed around 85 workers, including some in senior engineering posts, are to be made redundant. The development comes following the loss of 175 jobs at the plant in Ballybrit on the east of Galway city in February.
