15.
Fifty workers have been made redundant in this firm, the ownership of which has recently changed. The firm has informed me that the redundancies are due to a reorganisation which involved transferring some processing work from Dublin to the firm's headquarters in the country. I am also aware of a fall in the demand for the products made by the firm. There are no prospects at present that any of the workers dismissed on redundancy will be re-employed by the firm. Officers of the National Manpower Service will interview the workers and endeavour to find them other jobs.
