Cameron workers jobs fair criticised for lack of local input

A jobs fair to be held for Cameron workers just over a week away is being criticised by a Longford county councillor.

News of the event has come in the last 24 hours, and it is reportedly being organised by Cameron management in conjunction with the IDA.

Local councillor Seamus Butler who is also Managing Director of Butler Manufacturing Services says he is annoyed that local companies and the Chamber of Commerce haven’t been consulted about it.

170 people are due to be let go from the plant over the next six months, and councillor Butler says every effort needs to be made to keep these people in the local area.
