Enterprise Ireland and the IDA are being called on to play their part in securing the future of the workforce at Avara in Shannon.
It comes as Limerick-based United Metals has bought out the facility, in an agreement which will allow the existing management to continue to operate on the site over the coming months.
The futures of the 114 staff at the pharmaceuticals firm have been in doubt since it was ordered into liquidation in July, and those workers still face an uncertain future if a more long-term deal is not secured.
Employee Representative Conleth O’Sullivan has been telling Clare FM’s Fiona Cahill that saving as many jobs as possible will be the priority in the new year.
Earlier today, Clare’s Junior Minister Pat Breen told Clare FM’s James Mulhall that the deal is significant.
