Cameron Ireland Ltd has said “with great regret” that manufacturing, assembly and test activities at its Longford plant are “potentially” set to cease.

The Social Protection Minister claimed that the jobs initiative had boosted tourism numbers. Yesterday, the CSO said that there were fewer visits to Ireland in the first quarter of 2012.
Hundreds of jobs will be created in the construction industry over the next couple of years as a result of recent announcements for foreign direct investment in Ireland, the Industrial Development Authority has said.
HAIRDRESSERS AND BARBERS will be able to open their doors for the first time since December tomorrow as Ireland ramps up its phased easing of restrictions.
Last summer’s reopening saw queues form outside barber shops in the middle of the night, while those trying to get into salons faced lengthy waiting lists.
The demand looks exceptionally high again this time around with hairdressers reporting barrages of phone calls and messages seeking appointments.
Those who have secured an appointment are being asked to cancel their bookings if they are unable to attend as no-shows had a hugely negative impact on the industry last year.
So today we’re asking: Will you go to a hairdresser this week?
