Description

Gallagher's, a bread bakery based in Donegal, has announced 124 redundancies. The company informed workers that deteriorating trading conditions in Ireland and the UK meant an end to the company's frozen-food production line. Workers were told that it was hoped 40 of the 189 jobs could be saved as negotiations were under way with a prospective buyer to save Gallagher's local fresh bread business.
