Shanagolden to shut in dairy cost-cutting drive

HARD times in the dairy industry have put paid to a creamery which survived the Black and Tans, and which was one of the biggest single platform creameries in its heyday.

Now part of the Kerry Group’s worldwide business empire, Shanagolden Creamery is to close its doors later this year.

As part of a stores rationalisation going on over the past five years, Kerry Agri has taken the closure decision, just weeks after they opened a flagship modern store at Rathmore.
