Friday week will see the last of employees leave the Avara pharmaceutical plant in Shannon after talks between the IDA and United Metals to find a buyer failed.
Avara’s short-term future has been guaranteed as a buyer of the site has been secured which will keep workers in employment in Shannon until July while efforts are continuing to put long-term arrangements in place.
All 114 employees at Avara have been redundant while the workforce has set up a new company to maintain its supply to pharmaceutical companies.
