A meat plant in Naas Co Kildare is to close with the loss of 90 jobs.
Management at QK Meats informed workers that it is to cease production from tomorrow.
The company said the decision to close comes as a result of restructuring.
Siptu, which represents workers at the plant, said the company had sought pay cuts in the region of 50 per cent.

“The workers quite literally couldn’t afford such savage cuts and have steadfastly refused to accept the company’s unjustifiable demands,” Spitu’s Adrian Kane said.
Although there have been offers of redeployment within the wider Queally group, Siptu said these are limited.
