ICMSA calls for re-opening of Tralee beef and lamb plant

THE ICMSA yesterday called for the re-opening of the former Tralee Beef and Lamb plant.

It followed reports that the premises might not be re-opened by the new owners as a meat slaughtering facility but would be knocked down and sold as a development site.

About 300 farmer creditors are believed to be owed €3.5 million by the former owners of the plant placed in receivership last year and subsequently sold.
