Dairygold gets green light for €120m facility upgrade

Dairygold has been granted planning permission to spend €120m on a “world-class dairy processing facility” in Cork.

The redeveloping of its existing location in Mallow, Co Cork, will not only lead to the creation of 100 direct and indirect jobs but will also see output return to 450 tonnes of milk powders per day, the same level as at its peak in the 1990s.

The co-op is expanding operations ahead of the ending of milk quota restrictions in 2015.
