115 jobs are to be lost in Ballinasloe after a major manufacturing firm has confirmed it is closing its facility.

Aptar announced earlier this year that it was to begin a review of operations in the east Galway area.

This afternoon the company has confirmed it is to cease production by December, with industrial equipment being transferred to other Aptar global sites between September and November.
