Siptu representatives have called on the Government to intervene in order to save jobs at the Waterford Area Partnership, which has been recommended for closure.

Councillors in the city have said it would be a “blight” on the city if the Waterford Area Partnership ceased operations, as recommended by an audit commissioned by the Department of Rural and Community Development.
