Dairygold must return €750,000 grant after Welsh plant closure

Welsh Deputy First Minister Ieuan Wyn Jones has announced that, following the initiation of legal action, £600,000 had been recovered of a £663,528 processing and marketing grant awarded to Dairygold in June 2002 to expand packing lines at the factory in Felinfach, Ceredigion.
