29th August 2024 - Charles Flanagan TD

Laois/Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan has been reacting to news reports regarding the job losses and closure of Cardinal Health in Tullamore, Co. Offaly.

 

“My thoughts and solidarity are with the over 300 Cardinal Health workers and their families at this difficult time. It’s a black day for Tullamore.

 

“I have spoken directly with the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Peter Burke, who has assured me that the Government will do all it can to assist.

 

“I have spoken to some workers and pledged my active assistance. Relevant state agencies are on hand to provide advice & help. Much can happen between now & next March to soften the blow although it is a huge setback to economic & social life of Tullamore.

 

“Following the news, I have also been in touch with local Tullamore Councillor Neil Feighery updating him on matters.

 

“The state will assist in the guidance for alternative jobs in the area & and I pledge my full support at this time of challenge,” Deputy Flanagan concluded.
