Jobs blow to Offaly and Cork
The worst fears of workers at Flextronics Plant in Tullamore, Co Offaly have been confirmed this evening. The company is to shed 370 of its 404-strong workforce.
Staff were informed of the decision by management at a meeting held at the plant. Tanaiste Mary Harney says she recognises that the loss of employment in Flextronic is another blow to the region, and says she’s committed to attracting new jobs to Co Offaly.
