Furniture Market to Reach 600m Euros

Ulster furniture manufacturer McDonagh’s, based in Portadown, is to close with the loss of 75 jobs.

Terry McDonagh, the Managing Director of the company, blamed cheap foreign imports and the rising cost of manufacturing, for the decision to close the company.

McDonagh’s was established 100 years ago and its closure will have a serious impact on the workers and their families, as well as the wider Portadown economy.
