Pfizer to seek up to 80 voluntary redundancies

Pfizer is to seek between 60 and 80 voluntary redundancies at one of its plants in Dublin.

The company employs around 1,200 people at the Grange Castle biopharmaceuticals campus in Clondalkin.

Pfizer says the move is part of a site competitiveness strategy. The exact details of the programme are still being finalised.

The company says the overall numbers working in Grange Castle may not be reduced as some growth is planned at the facility.
