Adelie Ireland, formerly the Brite Group, informed workers it was going into administration last Friday.

Eighty jobs are at risk at a food manufacturer and distributor in County Fermanagh.

That's after Enniskillen-based firm Adelie Ireland went into administration.

The company which makes sandwiches and snacks for convenience stores and retail outlets informed workers of the news last Friday.

Sinn Fein's MLA in the area, Sean Lynch, says he's "concerned" by the news.

“It is disappointing to hear the news that this company has gone into liquidation and I’m sure it is a shock for the workers involved. Every effort must be made to save as many of these jobs as possible," he said.

SDLP Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA, Richie McPhillips echoed that sentiment saying:

"Obviously, it's very disappointing news. Any potential job losses are bad news. Certainly, it would be a blow for Enniskillen, another blow for Fermanagh - keeping employment and creating jobs over these past years has been a major problem - you would hope, certainly, these jobs in some manner or means would be saved."
