 IQ Pharmatek, to take over Suir Pharma plant in Clonmel. Some 100 jobs are set to be replaced on the Waterford Road in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, following the reopening of the former Suir Pharma plant, which closed down in mid May 2016, with the loss of some 130 jobs.
The premises is set to reopen under the name IQ Pharmatek, latter which is made up of companies invested in Ireland, the UK and the United Arab Emirates, and will initially focus on manufacturing products for other International pharma companies.
A spokesperson for IQ Pharmatek, Mr Azzam Hussein, stated that the new firm is expected to be up and producing their products within a matter of weeks.
Initially some one hundred people will be employed within the next month with a further 100 people expected to be employed in 2018.
While a number of key staff are understood to be already in place, some former Suir Pharma staff are hopeful of being returned to full employed at the facility.
Good news for those in receipt of Rent Supplement while under the age of 26 years. Their Personal Rent Supplement Contribution has been cut, with a saving of up to €80 a month for those claiming Jobseekers Allowance or Supplementary Welfare Allowance.
Single individuals or couples under 26 years of age and who were claiming Jobseekers or receiving Social Welfare Assistance, previously had to contribute up to €40 a week to their Rent Supplement Tenancy.
Under a new arrangement, a single person aged between 18-24 and receiving a payment of €100 a week, same will see their contribution to the weekly rent cut from €30 to €10, representing a saving of €20 per week.
A young person of the same age receiving €144 or €160 a week will also have their personal contribution cut by €10 per week.
This measure, which was much sought by organisations working with homeless people, is expected to ease the rental burden on young people, especially those in transition from homeless services into rental accommodation.

 Gardaí and Revenue Commissioners have become aware of a number of persons who have received phone calls from bogus personnel, purporting to work within local Banks and the Offices of Revenue.
Same calls are seeking Credit Card details and/or demanding immediate payment of tax bills; to be paid over the phone.
The first piece of information to note is that these individuals are not calling from your friendly Bank or Revenue Office.
If you receive a telephone call purporting to be from the Revenue Commissioners and about which you have any doubts, you should contact the Collector General’s Division (Tel:1890 20 30 70), without revealing any further details with regards to your banking or Revenue business.
Calls seeking Credit Card details.
With regard to those seeking Credit Card details; we are aware that telephone calls are being received today, around Tipperary, from a Mobile Tel. No 086/8646588.
In the latter case a woman identifying herself as ‘Millie’, informs you she is from your Bank and that €250 has been removed from your Credit Card account without, she believes, your personal knowledge. She is urgently seeking immediate clarification and confirmation of your Credit Card details, in order to put a halt this or other unwarranted transaction.
Remember anyone who mistakenly provides personal information in response to these types of fraudulent phone calls, should contact their Bank or Credit Card company immediately and alert the Gardaí.
Remember the Gardaí cannot fight crime alone, without the full support and co-operation of local communities and everyone has an onus and a major role to play, in attempting to prevent and reduce every act of criminality.
