Cardinal Health has announced plans to close its plant by March 2026 on what a former minister described as 'a black day for Tullamore'

Cardinal Health, based in Tullamore, Co Offaly, has 315 employees and said it intended to close the plant by March 2026.

“Following this morning’s town hall meeting with staff, and along with the IDA and my department, we will work with the company management and with staff on current and potential future possibilities. We will make every effort to identify alternative employment opportunities for the staff affected by this announcement.

Former minister and Laois-Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan said the news marked “a black day for Tullamore”. He continued: “I have spoken to some workers and pledged my active assistance. Relevant state agencies are on hand to provide advice and help. Fianna Fail MEP Barry Cowen said the plant would be relocating two production lines to Mexico and Costa Rica. He said: “My immediate focus is on the employees and their families directly affected. I have been assured that an adequate redundancy package will recognise their commitment and contribution over the years.
