Mitchelstown faces ‘meltdown’

THE Government was accused yesterday of ignoring a north Cork town facing “economic meltdown”.

Mitchelstown Business Association (MBA) said the Government had turned its back on the town’s Dairygold workers and families.

At a crisis meeting in Cork yesterday, just days after Dairygold announced its decision to shut its Mitchelstown pig processing operation, MBA chairman Tony Lewis demanded immediate action.
