Glanbia’s flagship project - What a vote of confidence

YESTERDAY’S opening of the Glanbia Ingredients Ireland’s €235m dairy facility in Belview, Co Kilkenny, is as resounding a vote of confidence in this society and economy as has been seen in decades.

That it was made by an Irish company to support one of the backbone sectors of our economy just makes that achievement all the more commendable.

The development is the largest single infrastructure investment in Ireland by an indigenous company for more than 80 years and is the largest infrastructure spend by an Irish-owned company since the construction of the ESB’s hydro scheme at Ardnacrusha on the Shannon in 1929.
