Up to 100 jobs at risk as fears grow for future of North Cork Creameries plant in Kanturk

EPA order halting effluent discharge leaves Kanturk creamery unable to process milk, raising fears for jobs and the plant’s future

It is understood that a multi-million euro investment would be required to resolve the issue.

Fears are growing for the future of North Cork Creameries’ milk processing facility in Kanturk, which employs up to 100 people.

The plant was ordered last month by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to stop discharging effluent from the site into the River Allow due to ongoing non-compliance with Emission Limit Values.
