Information on employment levels at Fruit of the Loom for the years 1996-9 is set out in the following table.
The figures are compiled from the Forfás annual employment survey. As this survey focuses on total employment figures, information on the numbers employed at the various Fruit of the Loom plants for 1996 and 1997 is not available. A breakdown of numbers for 1998 and 1999 was provided to IDA Ireland in the context of the recent discussions on the company's redundancy programme, and these are set out in the following table:
