Co-operative Poultry Closure Results In 90 Job Losses

SIPTU is seeking an urgent meeting with the liquidator appointed to Co-operative Poultry Products Ltd in Cootehill, Co. Cavan, following the company's closure which has resulted in 90 job losses.

Workers have been informed that the plant was to close with immediate effect. Simon Coyle of Mazars was appointed as liquidator to the company.

SIPTU Organiser, Jim Finnegan, said: "The closure of this long established co-operative will have a devastating effect on the local community. Not only must 90 workers and their families deal with the loss of their livelihoods but more than 25 local growers have also lost their source of income."
