Oatfield sweet factory closed!

just saw a tweet on this, very sad to see

I love the Chocolate orange sweets, although they haven't been quite as nice as they used to be. The chocolate inside is very gritty now.

Sad alright. Used to love Emeralds. Remember passing the factory in Letterkenny when I was a child and feeling very excited.

Can anyone clarify if Emerald sweets will no longer be available?

It looks like production is moving but not sure if that means Emeralds will no longer be made?

Do we need to start panic buying and stock piling?

Would have thought they will still be made. They must still be a reasonably big seller. Hopefully!

You'll still be able to get them.
They're just moving production.
Sad that it's taking jobs out of Lerterkenny though.
