    Hopefully it's not as bad as it looks. Good to hear nobody hurt.

    The factory was on fire for two hours before it was brought under control. Does not look like the new part was damaged. Hopefully they can get up and running quickly as they are the biggest employers here

    Hopefully they have most of their stuff shipped out to dealers at this stage, I hope they recover from this quickly.

    If the seat's wet, sit on yer hat, a cool head is better than a wet ar5e.

    Good to hear there was nobody hurt.

    Hope that it doesn't impact their business and the jobs there.

    McHale is one of the great Irish success stories that took on the big name machinery brands and beat them out the gate.

    The fire brigade baled alot of water into it yesterday evening and got the fires under control. As far as I know they have all wrapped up now.

    Local farmers drew the water to them with vacuum tankers,... good effort

    hope they get back into production quickly & that too much of the industry does'nt out source to the plant in Hungary

    Don't know if its accurate but there is a report going that in the fire some storage areas for parts were engulfed .....and that there are NO replacements of one part for balers left....not what contractors or farmers need to hear at this time of year.
