Staff at the Procter and Gamble plant in Nenagh, Co Tipperary, are anxiously awaiting news on the future of their jobs today.
The US multinational has arranged a meeting of its 600 local staff to discuss restructuring plans.
There are fears that hundreds of jobs will be axed as part of a move to relocate part of the Nenagh operation to Poland.
Procter and Gamble has been one of the biggest employers in north Tipperary for the past 25 years.
