Lord Mayor's statement on Novartis job losses

 Nocartis

Lord Mayor of Cork, Cllr John Sheehan has said that his “ thoughts are with Novartis workers and their families this morning”. 

“ While today's news is regrettable, we must remember that the Cork Region is a powerhouse for the pharmaceutical sector and that we have a global reputation and successful track record as a location to do business and invest in."

"I know that the State Agencies will be working hard so that Novartis employees can find alternative employment locally. The fact that today’s  redundancies are to be made on a phased basis will provide time for employees to seek out new options."
