29 workers are to be made redundant at the Limerick Leader print division on the Dock Road, with the decision by Johnstone Press to close it on December 17.
Fears have also been expressed that this latest move by Johnston Press could signal a reduction in the number of titles being printed in Limerick.
There are currently three tabloid papers published in the city, the Limerick Leader on Monday and Wednesday and the Limerick Chronicle on Tuesday.
The Scottish company currently own the 'Limerick Leader' and 'Limerick Chronicle', the later printed in the city for almost 250 years.
