Twenty five jobs to go at County Donegal firm
The County Donegal plant of Ruibar Motair Teo (RMT) is set to axe 25 jobs following a slowdown in business.
The German-owned RMT plant in Derrybeg, which manufactures rubber car components for the European market, was officially opened in 1991 by Charles Haughey and originally had plans to employ 400 people.
By Thursday April 4, however, the future was uncertain for the remaining 80 workers with management looking at the current situation on a week-to-week basis.
More than 200 jobs have been lost in the Derrybeg area during the past year. Recent closures and job losses have occurred in nearby Falcarragh, where 150 jobs were axed, and at the EPI plastic carrier-bag plant with the loss of 23 jobs.
