Giant potholes may sink meat firm

The Traditional Meats Company in Dromone, Oldcastle, Co Meath, says it is in danger of losing contracts over the potholes, which recently activated an air-bag in a lorry driving over the dangerous crevices.
Plant director Frank Twomey says he may be forced to lay off some of his 45-strong staff unless trucks can access the factory to load products for export markets. He said: “We are looking to ship our product 2,000km to France and Europe and it is the 200m approach to the factory that is an issue.
