160 jobs go as meat processing plants close

One of Ireland’s best-known meat processing plants has closed with the loss of 160 jobs.

Sausage maker Olhausen has ceased trading at its plants in Blanchardstown and Coolock in Dublin and in Co Monaghan.

Receiver Jim Hamilton, of BDO, has informed representatives of the 160 workers the company closed without notice as it was no longer a going concern.
