Schering-Plough to Cut 160 Cork Jobs

Staff at Schering-Plough, which is based at Brinny near Innishannon in West Cork, were recently told by management that the workforce at the plant is to be reduced from around 700 to 545 over the next three months. This is the second round of job cuts at Schering-Plough's Cork plant in just over a year. Last January the company cut 170 jobs after a drop in demand for its anticancer and antiviral medicine.
