More than 100 jobs are to be lost at the Fulflex elastics manufacturing plant in Limerick. Blaming intense global competition, its owner, the Moore Company, said it would cease manufacturing at the factory in a bid to stave off losses. Some 108 managers, manufacturing staff and other related posts will be lost from the company's workforce of 124.
