Dublin South West Sinn F\u00e9in TD, Se\u00e1n Crowe, has called the reports of the loss of more than 60 jobs at Cadbury\u2019s Tallaght factory as a shock to the community and said it will have wide ranging repercussions for the families of those losing the jobs and the local economy.<\/p>\n
Deputy Se\u00e1n Crowe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cCadbury-owner Mondelez has announced plans to close its gum production plant in Tallaght with the reported\u00a0loss of over 60 jobs and that the plant will fully close next year.\u00a0 It was only opened a short while ago, in 2006.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am gutted with these job losses particularly as they are currently located in a community which really can\u2019t take any\u00a0more\u00a0negative hits and job losses.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe continued departure of traditional industries and the manufacturing jobs they brought has had a devastating effect on Tallaght and its hinterland as they are not easily replaced.<\/p>\n
\u201cSIPTU have announced that its members who worked in the plant were shocked to hear of the news and angry that their jobs are\u00a0now being located to Poland.<\/p>\n
\u201cMinister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Richard Bruton, needs to explain if the Government had any advanced warning of these job losses and if they tried to do anything to stop them, or indeed if there is anything they can do at this late hour to stop them.<\/p>\n
\u201cA fair deal for these employees must follow this announcement and the Government need to provide them with adequate supports and most importantly explain how they will replace these\u00a0jobs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
