280 jobs to go in Nenagh
The Irish Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Micheál Martin has expressed his disappointment at the decision by Procter and Gamble to axe jobs in Nenagh.
The Minister said: "The announcement by Procter and Gamble that 280 jobs will be lost at its plant in Nenagh, County Tipperary, by 2009 is very disappointing.
"I am conscious that this has been a difficult period for the workers and their families with the past year bringing a lot of uncertainty.
"Since it was announced that Procter and Gamble was carrying out a review I have remained in close contact with both the company and the IDA.
"While the fact that 220 jobs will be maintained at Nenagh is to be welcomed, in the intervening two years FÁS and the other agencies of the State will give the workers losing their jobs every possible support in securing alternative employment.
"It is clear that the workforce in Nenagh has performed very well and this decision was a global strategic one and not based on the performance of the workers."
The cosmetics multinational's plant in Nenagh is of the areas largest employers.
The company said that the Nenagh operation would continue to produce cosmetics products for the European market.
