Coca-Cola tight-lipped on reported interest in creating a Cork dairy plant

Coca-Cola has confirmed it is in "regular discussions" about enhancing its presence in Ireland but remained tight-lipped about reports it is looking to create a dairy plant in Cork.

A report in the Irish Farmers Journal said the drinks giant had visited Teagasc in Moorepark near Fermoy and the University of Limerick (UL) in recent times, while also engaging with the IDA, with the view to establishing a dairy processing facility in Cork.
