On Tues 23rd Aug. 2005, over 560 employees of Hospira / Abbott were given the stark news that the Plant in Donegal Town was closing down after 28 years.
As it turned out, the factory did not close but was taken over by Abbott Diabetes Care.
The majority of the original 560 employees were made redundant however and many have never seen each other since.
A 10th Anniversary Reunion has been announced for Sat Oct 1st @ 8pm in the Central Hotel Donegal Town. There will be no tickets available on the night.
Tickets @ €15 go on sale next week which includes buffet food and music.
