Description

The Wolseley plumbing and building supplies group has announced 180 redundancies in various locations across Ireland. The redundancies will entail the closure of four Wolseley stores around Ireland. Wolseley has attributed the job losses to the serious downturn that has hit Ireland's construction industry and a big reduction in new house builds.
