Examiner appointed to Tipp food company

The High Court has approved the appointment of an examiner to an award winning Co Tipperary based family food company.

McEvoy Family Foods supplies soups and garlic bread to Musgraves and Lidl and employs 18 people.

The court heard three investors have expressed interest in the company whose financial problems mostly stem from high start up costs and lack of bank funding.

It's run by Gary McEvoy whose wife Jane recently starred as a contestant in the UK television show The Apprentice.
