Completion of tunnel sees 30 jobs come to end

THE completion of the 900 metre Limerick tunnel has resulted in the loss of construction jobs.

A leading Limerick electrical firm who laid off 30 engineers, said yesterday half that number had been working on the tunnel.

Kirby Electrical, which employs more than 200 at its headquarters in Raheen Business Park, had a major contract in the fitting out of the tunnel.
