C&C defends decision to cut at least 100 jobs in €15m cost-cutting drive

C&C is defending its decision to let more than 100 staff go at its bottling plant in Co Tipperary.

News broke this morning that management hope to save €15m each year by shutting two sites - its water-bottling one in Borrisoleigh, where 140 staff are employed, and its cider-making facility in Shepton Mallet, Somerset in the UK.
