The company said it had met with employees and their representatives to initiate a consultation period that is expected to last a number of weeks. New shift arrangements at the site will also form part of the discussions.

“Management will engage with employees and their representatives over the coming weeks to discuss the issues,” a statement added.

Glanbia declined to comment on speculation the redundancies are linked to a reported contract loss with Tesco.
