Crisp maker Tayto is to lay off 179 staff from two of its plants in Dublin.
Tayto's Terenure plant will close in October resulting in 164 redundancies. A further 15 staff will lose their jobs at the company's Coolock plant, but this will be on a voluntary basis.
The company has decided to outsource production at its Terenure plant to Largo Foods, who will now produce Tayto's Snax, Chipsticks, Mighty Munch and Wheelie ranges.
