SWS future hangs in balance after board meeting

SOUTH Western Services’ (SWS) future still hung in the balance following a frank and open meeting of the board yesterday.

Dairygold is open to a merger of IAWS Co-op with SWS but is also comfortable with Bandon-based SWS going it alone if that is what the other co-operatives want.

Getting its hands on cash is not a priority for Dairygold and it will go with whatever consensus emerges, a spokesman said.
