Distribution depot to cut 150 jobs

Up to 150 people are expected to lose their jobs at a Dublin food distribution depot after food wholesale giant Musgrave confirmed it is not renewing its contract with the firm.

Musgrave said, however, that it will be creating 134 new jobs across its own distribution network to cope with the extra volumes of business it expects arising out of the decision.

The Dublin depot staff, based in Blanchardstown, were briefed on the announcement yesterday.
