Jobs are at risk as a Donegal timber-frame house builder looks like becoming the latest casualty of the economic downturn that has ravaged the construction industry.
Notices published yesterday indicate that Errigal New Homes is to hold a creditors' meeting on January 27, with a view to winding up the business.
According to the Irish Independent, Company Director Sean Davidson was unwilling to comment on the situation, insisting that there has already been enough written in the local press.
Errigal was due to hold a creditors' meeting in November, with local reports suggested the company had already reduced their staff to 12, down from a high of 20.
Mr Davidson refused to confirm how many people were currently employed, or when the company began trading, the newspaper report added.
