Possible bad news on the way. http://www.breakingnews.ie/ireland/concerns-for-500-jobs-at-dublin-pharma-plant-615630.html Let's hope it's not another blow for the area, 500 jobs on the line. Edit, update, 570 jobs to go

Heard this earlier, the only silver lining is that the plant will close by 2017 so hopefully some of the staff will have a chance to find other jobs in that timeframe.
