93 jobs to go at Wicklow radiator plant

93 jobs are to be lost in Co Wicklow as the Quinn Group announced it is to close the Veha radiator plant.

Quinn Group said the decision to close follows "a detailed review of the plant's operation, which found that the plant has a number of environmental issues to address and that the market for the round-top radiator product which it produces is in decline".

The plant has been in operation since 1966 and became part of the Quinn Group in May 2004, following its acquisition of the Barlo Group.

The plant will close in a month's time.

Quinn Group said the decision will have no implications for Quinn's Clonmel plant, which services a different end of the radiator market.
