Golf club staff to ballot for strike action over loss of 21 jobs

Staff at Killarney Golf Club are to be balloted for strike action after management informed them that 21 are to be made redundant.

The club’s management said it had carried out a detailed business overview since last year and that it was now putting in place “a major restructuring plan” to enable the club to remain viable “during very testing times”.

It said that while it required up to 21 redundancies, a number of jobs will also be created through the outsourcing of some of the roles.
