Plea to Govt over Kilmeaden jobs axe

The Government must find new employment opportunities for people in Co Waterford, a Labour TD demanded as it emerged 45 jobs are to go from a cheese production plant in Kilmeaden.

Waterford Deputy Brian O’Shea said the loss of the jobs from the Glanbia plant was a further blow to the region, which saw 500 employees lose their jobs with Waterford Crystal in May.
