The fifteen workers at the Oatfield Sweet Factory in Letterkenny have been given a temporary reprieve.
Donegaldaily.com has learned that the company has received a major order which will keep the company in production until at least May.
There had been fears that Z Candy, the company which owns Oatfields, was about to shut the plant at the Gortlee Roundabout.
It was thought the company had agreed to sell the land on which the plant was located to a major supermarket retailer.
However a source at the plant revealed: “A decent order has come into the plant and that will keep the immediate future of the company in safe hands.
“If that order can be fulfilled, the who knows what’s around the corner.
“Workers are nervous after all the rumours but hopefully this will give them some kind of stability.”
