‘More damaging’ to lose jobs outside of Dublin

A Waterford TD has said it is “far more proportionately damaging” for every job lost in the county compared to a job lost in Dublin.

Fine Gael TD John Deasy’s comments come after 50 voluntary redundancies were sought from Waterford-based company Honeywell Transportation Systems recently.

“When 50 jobs go it is not, in any respect, a minor issue because it has a major impact on Waterford city, which is still suffering from the recession,” Mr Deasy said.
