Almost 100 jobs set to go in Co Tipperary

Close to 100 people are set to lose their jobs in Clonmel, Co Tipperary.

The Ronan Group, whose companies produce leather goods at its plant in Clonmel, said it had been in difficulty recently because of a lack of orders.

The company's Dublin office, which distributes much of the goods, will also be affected by the losses.

Almost all of the workforce is being laid-off immediately on a temporary basis, however a small core will be retained to maintain minimal operations.
