THE news that Clonakilty has secured 20 new high-end jobs with Easylink at the West Cork Business Park has been tempered somewhat by the announcement in the same day that Eli Lilly in Kinsale is seeking 60 to 70 voluntary redundancies.
The new jobs at Easylink who already employ 25 in Clonakilty will mainly be in accounting and finance positions with the global messaging company.
Staff at pharma company Eli Lilly’s Dunderrow plant which employs 450 people have been informed that the company are seeking up to 70 voluntary redundancies.
