Closure is ‘double whammy’ for engaged work colleagues
“It’s a double whammy,” she said, the couple reflecting on the news inflicted on them and 573 colleagues on Wednesday which will leave them jobless in early October.
“I went to college in Maynooth and have an honours degree in maths and microbiology and worked here because it stopped a gap. Now I’m going to be on the dole and no prospects of any sort of job, even with a degree. I qualified in or around the time the recession started,” Claire said.
