IRELAND: Fruit Of The Loom Axes 60 Jobs
Dozens of workers are set to lose their jobs at the Fruit of the Loom factory in Buncrana, Co Donegal, amid a fall in orders. The Irish Times said the firm is seeking voluntary redundancies for the 60 positions facing the axe and said at its peak it employed more than 2,500 people in Donegal but the figure now is less than 1,000.
