Up to 80 full-time and part-time job losses have been announced in the Mayo Gaeltacht with the closure of a major call centre. Eurotel Marketing Limited, which is based in the Udarás Na Gaeltachta Industrial Estate in Belmullet (above), has informed its workforce by letter that it will have closed down completely by October I.The economic crisis and the increasing use of automated technologies is being blamed by the company for the difficulties which are leading to the shutdown. At its peak, Eurotel employed over 100 full-time workers in Belmullet but this has decreased significantly in recent years because of problems caused by the weakening dollar. Recently, the company closed its customer contact centres in Dublin and Athlone.
