Ice production resumes at plants after safety review

Bord Iascaigh Mhara (BIM) confirmed full ice production had resumed yesterday at three of its plants in Kilmore Quay, Howth and Dunmore East.

The state agency emphasised there had been no interruption to supply of ice to fishermen at any of the three plants, nor was there a risk to public safety at any stage, in the last week.

The ice production in the plants had been temporarily suspended on Friday last following an internal health and safety audit which detailed a number of risks to the safety of employees at the plants.
