Great news for the town on the Jobs Front:
Lakeland Dairies is to create 81 jobs over five years at its new processing facilities in Bailieborough, Co Cavan. A further 180 jobs will be created during the plant’s construction phase, which will start straight away as part of a €36m investment in the expansion of milk powder processing operations.
Lakeland, which is a farmer owned dairy processing co-operative, processes over 800 million litres of milk a year and exports to over 70 countries worldwide. The expansion will see the installation of a new 7 tonne per hour milk drying facility at Bailieboro where total milk powder production capacity will increase to 19 tonnes per hour. It expects to increase production by 40% to over 1bn litres by 2020. The investment has been supported by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation through Enterprise Ireland.
This is very good news for the town as it has suffered badly from the effects of the recession with many businesses closing and of course many of our younger people have had to emigrate to secure employment and make a life for themselves. Hopefully this investment will give new life to the town and help bring it back to its former prominence as one of the top business towns in the North East.
