Mr Michael Maguire, Chairman of the IFA Pig Producers Committee said he was disappointed that Glanbia Plc had decided to exit the pig processing industry. The Chairman of the IFA Pig Producers Committee stressed how important pig producers have been for Glanbia. As purchasers of animal feed and inputs from Glanbia it is inconceivable how Glanbia is now cutting pig farmers adrift. Mr Maguire said he will be seeking assurances on the full reopening of the Edenderry plant which is operating on a care and basic maintenance since the devastating fire in August 2007. |
