Fears For Ladbrokes Jobs As Examiner Appointed To Business

Ladbrokes has two shops in Tralee.

THERE are fears of job losses after an interim examiner was appointed to the Irish arm of the ‘Ladbrokes’ Bookmakers business.

The betting company – which has two shops based in Tralee on Edward Street and Market Street – currently employs over 840 people in 196 shops around the country.

They have reportedly been losing money in the country over the last number of years, losing €5 million alone in 2014

The Irish section of the company will then now have its operations reviewed and Ladbrokes says lay-offs are expected at all levels of its operation in the Republic of Ireland.

The time-frame for examinership usually lasts up to 100 days and in the meantime the company says it’s business as usual.
