Green Isle to close plant with loss of 78 jobs

GREEN ISLE Foods is to close its fish breading facility in Boyle, Co Roscommon, resulting in the loss of up to 78 jobs.

Management has started consultations with the workforce and it is envisaged that the breading operation in Boyle will cease by early September 2006 and will be transferred to one of the group’s British locations.

The breading facility in Boyle is part of Green Isle’s Irish business, which produces the Donegal Catch brand of convenience fish products.
