Jobs lost at Limerick car dealership

Around 45 jobs have been lost at a long established Limerick car dealership, according to reports today.

Pat Keogh Ltd which has been trading in Limerick for some 44 years has gone into voluntary liquidation. The company told staff last night that the "difficult trading environment" coupled with a “challenging financial climate”, was to blame for the decision.

Things moved fast as staff were already arriving this morning to clear out their desks, the main gates were locked and new cars were being removed from the premises.
