Restructuring events
European Restructuring Monitor (ERM)
The restructuring events database contains factsheets with data on large-scale restructuring events reported in the principal national media and company websites in each EU Member State. This database was created in 2002.
Longford-based manufacturer Cameron Ireland is to close its plant by mid-2017, with the loss of 170 jobs. Cameron Ireland makes flow equipment for the oil and gas industry. About 50 of its staff in the research and development wing of the company are expected to be retained. However, the majority of its staff will lose their jobs if the decision to end manufacturing, assembly and testing activity goes ahead. The reason for the dismissals is attributed to the ongoing crisis in the oil and gas industry.
The company is now engaging with worker representatives during the obligatory consultation phase.
