REPUBLIC OF IRELAND: Fruit Of The Loom Axes 65 Jobs
Troubled clothing maker Fruit of the Loom has announced plans to consolidate operations in the Republic of Ireland at its Ballymacarry plant in Buncrana with the loss of 65 jobs. The company said the move was the first step in an investment programme that would allow it to bring in a 24-hour, seven-day-week working across its textile operations.
