Concern At Potential Job Losses At Coca-Cola

SDLP Lisburn Cllr Pat Catney has expressed concern that jobs may be at risk at the Coca-Cola bottling plant in Lisburn.

Cllr Catney said: "Lisburn has been the operational hub for Coca -Cola for more than two decades and they have invested a lot in our local community.

"It is therefore extremely disappointing that they are experiencing difficulties and are considering making posts redundant.

"Given the huge impact this could have on employees at the plant, their families and our local economy, it is vital that all avenues are explored to avoid the axing of people's jobs."
