Microprint has announced that it will close its Tallaght plant in April with the loss of 130 jobs. This is tough news for the region as there were 230 jobs lost in February with the announcement from Jacobs.
It was stated that increased competition and doubts over key contracts were the reasons for the decision. But could it be that we are not buying enough RTE Guides as this is one of a number of publications that the company prints.
I guess that a high cost base played a major factor in this decision as it would have had an impact on the competitiveness of the company. Anyway the 130 staff are probably not worried why and are more concerned about transition into new employment as soon as possible.
