Some years ago I had the good fortune of attending their Open Day to celebrate 50 years in Killarney. The plant tour was mind blowing and the generosity and hospitality to attendees was second to none. Sincerely I hope everyone can remain calm and bring about an amicable solution to this dispute. It is shocking to think of the devastation which may ensue if agreement cannot be reached.

They could literally move the whole operation at the flick of a switch. They are adding 70 million to the Kerry economy every year. They are a great company to work for. They have no shortage of work, and are always investing in the killarney factory. They are currently finishing off a mammoth workshop at the moment. This will hit the whole of Kerry, not just Killarney. What multinational is going to come here when workers averaging 52 k a year are not happy and are willing to let a company close down. All aided by siptu who seem to thrive in sucking the life blood out of the country!
