Heartbreak in Drogheda as around 200 jobs are set to disappear following the closure of the medical technology company BD's plant in Co Louth. The decision to shut down the BD factory in Drogheda comes after a thorough review of the company's manufacturing supply chain, marking the end of a 60-year presence in the town. Employees, shocked by the news, gathered in a somber meeting at the City North Hotel where they were informed of the closure.

The closure of the Becton Dickinson plant is a massive blow for the workers and the community of Drogheda according to local TD Ged Nash, who expressed deep concern over the loss of 200 jobs. As one of the largest employers in Drogheda, BD's departure will have a significant impact on the town's economy and the livelihoods of many families. The devastating news has reverberated through the local community as the once thriving plant prepares to wind down its operations.

The Becton Dickinson closure is described as a devastating blow for Drogheda by Fine Gael TDs, emphasizing the loss of 170 jobs as a significant setback for the town. The sudden announcement of the plant's closure has left many employees uncertain about their future, with the effects of this decision expected to ripple through Drogheda for months to come. The closure serves as a stark reminder of the challenges faced by industrial towns in a rapidly changing economic landscape.

In light of BD's closure in Drogheda, discussions are underway to support the affected employees and explore new opportunities for economic growth in the town. The impact of losing a major employer like BD will undoubtedly shape the future of Drogheda's job market and community dynamics. As the town navigates through this period of transition, the support and resilience of its residents will be pivotal in shaping a new chapter for Drogheda.
