The future of almost 120 employees with disabilities is up in the air after the northshore recyling plant where they worked burnt to the ground at the weekend. The Abilities Group's Glenfield factory was completely destroyed in the fire, including vital equipment, right down to the last screw driver. Abilities group is fundraising and looking for new place to set up. Managing Director of Abilities Peter Frahar spoke to Lisa Owen.
