ATHENRY’S CF TOOLING TO MEET IRALCO WORKERS
Date Published: 08-Aug-2008
Athenry manufacturing company CF Tooling will this weekend meet the workforce of the Westmeath company it’s buying
CF Tooling, which employs over 900 people worldwide, is to give a presentation to the 400 strong Iralco workforce at the plant in Collinstown Co Westmeath
Iralco produces components for some of Europe’s best-known car manufacturers, including Audi, BMW, Ford, Seat, Volvo and Jaguar.
It went into liquidation in April, despite having plenty of orders on its books.
Just over a week ago CF Tooling conditionally agreed to purchase the business.
Liquidator John McStay said the agreement lays the foundation to secure the majority of the 400 Westmeath jobs.
CF Tooling, a specialist tool-design and manufacturing company, was established by Michael Carr and Johnny Flaherty in 1989.

A date will be set next October for the trial of a 52-year old Connemara man, who is charged with assaulting traditional Irish musician Noel Hill five years ago.
Michael Folan from Teach Mór, Lettermullen, is charged with intentionally or recklessly causing serious harm to Noel Hill at Tí Padraig Mairtín Beag in Leitir Mór, on St Stephen’s Day, 2008.
The matter had been listed for trial on several occasions before Galway Circuit Criminal Court in the intervening period.
It was referred to the High Court in Dublin last year for judicial review after Michael Folan said he wanted his trial heard ‘as Gaeilge’and that a bi-lingual jury be made available to hear the case.
At Galway Circuit Criminal Court, Judge Rory McCabe adjourned the case for mention to October when it’s expected a date will be set for trial.
