Shannon Free Zone suffers 254 job losses
The regional development agency confirmed that 616 jobs were lost with 362 created in the zone last year, where more than 6,000 people are employed. The business park hosts Ireland’s largest cluster of US companies including Zimmer, Digital River, GE Capital, Molex and Symantec.
A spokeswoman for Shannon Development confirmed that the job losses do not include the 207 job losses announced at Shannon Aerospace and Elsevier last October that have yet to be fully implemented.
