Nuvotem to lay off 43 workers in Donegal

The Nuvotem electronics firm has announced plans to lay off 43 workers at its factory in Crolly, Co Donegal.

The company said it was planning to “outsource” some of the plant's operations to the Czech Republic or India, where costs are lower.

Local Fine Gael TD Dinny McGinley said the lay-offs were a further sign that Ireland was paying a high price for its high-inflation economy.
