Fate of SWS to be decided today

THE board of South Western Services of Bandon meets today to decide the fate of the company.

At this stage, three of the five co-ops, including Dairygold, Drinagh and Lidavaird, have voted in favour of the €64 million on offer from IAWS Co-op for its financial and energy divisions.

That represents six votes out of a maximum of eight, and even if Bandon and Barryroe were to go against the deal, it looks to be over the line.
