Tánaiste receives full report on efforts to save IFI jobs
Managers at IFI, which has plants at Cobh, Arklow and Belfast, yesterday met officials at the Enterprise Department where they outlined a number of options which could secure the future of the company which is jointly-owned by the State and chemicals conglomerate, ICI.
IFI is in crisis due to the fall in demand for fertiliser in Ireland and across the western world as environmental concerns compound a range of difficulties currently facing farmers.
