Údarás na Gaeltachta hold crisis meetings over firm’s future

Údarás na Gaeltachta is holding crisis meetings with the directors of a plastics company that was launched by Taoiseach Enda Kenny and then jobs minister Richard Bruton in December 2014.

The state body ploughed over €200,000 into the Meath business in a variety of employment grants and rent subsidy.

Clearplas, based in Gaeltacht area Gibbstown, is currently the subject of an Údarás investigation into possible breaches of the waste permit it obtained from Meath County Council, as well as possible breaches of the lease and grant agreement entered into with Údarás.
