A telecommunications company in Co Donegal has announced plans to lay off half the workers at its plant in Gweedore following the loss of a major order.

Twenty-seven jobs are being shed by Celtic Transcripts, which is based in the Derrybeg industrial estate.

Local politicians have described the move as a huge blow to the area, which has experienced a string of factory closures and lay-offs in recent years.
