100 Castleisland jobs under threat

MORE than 100 jobs are under threat at Castleisland in Co Kerry.

It came as it emerged up to 460 jobs could be created in North Tipperary, South Offaly and Clare with the development of two M7 motorway services facilities in Birdhill and Moneygall and the securing of a US contract by a Shannon firm.

In Castleisland, the cost-saving proposals put forward by more than 100 workers have been rejected by their employer.
