Workers were informed yesterday that 65 jobs are to go at the Coca-Cola plant in Drogheda. This is a devastating blow for the workers, their families and the local community because Coca-Cola has been part of the fabric of Drogheda for decades and has been a mainstay of employment locally. To be frank, the people of Drogheda are genuinely sick and tired of what they see as the lack of commitment and effort on the part of the Government and IDA Ireland when it comes to attracting investment and jobs locally. We have been overlooked too often and have lost out too many times. What are the Government's plans to attract investment and jobs to Drogheda?
