I strongly welcome the announcement today that the ABP Food Group has agreed terms with the Kepak Group for the sale of the Silvercrest plant, subject to Competition Authority approval. While this is a commercial arrangement between ABP and Kepak, I would like in particular to acknowledge ABP’s commitment to the staff at the plant during the past months. The announcement today is good news for the companies concerned and for the Irish food industry generally. This is also very good news for the employees at the Silvercrest plant and local economy at Ballybay, Co Monaghan.
