Protesters angry over Dairygold job losses
Dairygold recently announced that it was ending primary pig processing with the loss of 170 jobs in Mitchelstown and another 100 in Roscrea, Co Tipperary.
It was part of a major restructuring programme for the near €1 billion turnover co-op, which has now shed more than 1,100 jobs throughout the co-op in the past year.
