Compost production plant gets go-ahead

A NEW compost production plant which could create up to 30 jobs in north Tipperary has been given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála.

Acorn Recycling Ltd hopes to have the plant up-and-running by late 2009. It is a subsidiary of the Thurles-based environment company, Arlo Group.

The plant, which will process organised-base material at a seven-acre site, will be the largest of its kind in the country.
