WORKERS AT CO-OPERATIVE Poultry Products Ltd were told last night that the company’s Cavan plant was closing its doors.
Simon Coyle of Mazars has been appointed as the liquidator to the company, which trades under the brand name Cootehill Farms.
A total of 90 jobs have been lost at the facility, which was first established in the county in 1949.
Siptu organiser Jim Finnegan said the development will also impact the livelihoods of more than 25 local growers who have now lost their source of income.
“The closure of this long-established co-operative will have a devastating effect on the local community,” he said.
Brief discussions were held yesterday, during which Finnegan said he made clear that the union will be seeking the prompt payment of the workers’ redundancy entitlements.

The photo is aimed at Irish Water employees and what they should do with their bonuses.

€23.50….
By law only a third of it has to be spent on roads which is a f’#king joke.
Plus vat & levies on fuel plus levy (for water supply) on insurance plus vat on servicing plus nct costs…
People in the real economy have to pay hand-over-fist to the Government for the right to use a car, yet civil servants are still given free parking in Dublin city centre! It is a microcosm of the mentality of the Irish State.
After paying my Car Tax for 40 yrs I was forced off the road by this obscene Lobby Car Tax of €951 for my 10 yr old car to force me to buy a new one. Those who can afford new cars get the low Car Tax … Ireland a disgusting place to live.
surely your headline should read ” car buyers will pay 1 billion in ‘ illegal’ tax ” after all the e.u has ruled v.r.t as illegal and enda usually obeys every command from the e.u.
Here’s where some of your car tax goes to pay for water

Hi Dermot. How much is tax on your Kia Rio?
Your one to talk. Driving your car for months untaxed and then going in to the Gardai in Mullingar to have it declared off the road.
Are you talking to yourself ?
