Talking peanuts is serious business

THEY’LL be talking peanuts in Limerick today! But it will be serious business.

A high-profile delegation from the Ivory Coast will spend the day in the Mid-West in an effort to set up a peanut processing plant here.

The government of the Ivory Coast wants to export millions of tons of peanuts to this country for sale as animal feed. The proposal is to ship the peanuts to Limerick and then process and package them for sale to farmers here.
