80 jobs set to go at Waterford plant

A manufacturing facility is set to close in Waterford City with the loss of 80 jobs.

Management at HP Chemie say the plant is to close because of a downturn in the international community.

Employees were told of the decision over the weekend.

Only two years ago, the facility, which produces sound proofing materials for the automotive industry, shed 25 jobs in an attempt to keep down costs.
