Donegal is to lose one of its best known brands with confirmation that the Oatfield factory in Letterkenny is to close at the end of next month.

The Oatfield brand is owned by Zed Candy, which said production of Oatfield sweets will now transfer to a factory in the UK, resulting in 15 job losses in Co Donegal.

The company said the factory in Letterkenny has been under continual review due to unsustainable overheads and operating costs.
