Description

It has emerged that about 143 workers at the Musgrave supermarket group's Galway depot are to be made redundant in June 2010. It is understood that the Galway outlet will close in June as part of an internal restructuring of the company's distribution network. However, 55 workers in Galway will be offered the chance to relocate to a Musgrave depot in Kildare in the Irish Midlands.
