DUBLIN: Cadbury-owner Mondelez has confirmed plans to close its gum-base production plant in Tallaght with the loss of 45 permanent roles. The company is also to cut 160 jobs at its other facilities in Coolock, Co Dublin and Rathmore, Co Kerry.
The company said the decision to shut the plant follows an in-depth review which found that the cost of production at Tallaght is at least twice as expensive as other similar plants.
