    Batchelors' cannery runs out of water
    Wednesday, 13 January 2010 18:12
    Batchelors says it is putting 40 workers at its Cabra plant in Dublin on protective notice from next Monday because it has run out of water.

    In a statement this evening, the company which makes beans and peas, says it has insufficient water supplies to continue to run its cannery in Cabra. It says it has exhausted its own water storage supply and as a result has been forced to curtail production at the facility for the rest of the week.

    It says that Dublin City Council was not able to offer clear guidance on the timing of the resumption of full water supplies to the facility.

    Batchelors says it has the highest second water requirement levels in the city of Dublin.

    'As this is a period of high demand for canned food, the situation represents a major blow for the company, and one which is likely to have a serious knock-on effect on its ability to meet customer demand, unless water supply is restored immediately to the plant,' a statement from the company says.

    As well as beans and peas, Batchelors makes Erin sauces and gravy mixes, Sqeeze fruit juices, Lustre canned Fruit and Picnic canned fish.


    I don't think it is a case of being hard up. The water supplies in the city are hammered after the weather for the past month. The 'protective notice' makes sense also. They have to let the staff go temporarily (unfortunately), but hopefully it won't be permanent.

    But the scary part is that they could make it permanent at the drop of a hat. Surely enforced annual leave would sort the problem?

    Should keep the greens happy. Methane gasses should be on the decline so.
