A delegation from the community of Ballyconnell to meet with members of Vidrala on February 2nd

A local delegation from the community of Ballyconnell will meet with members of the Spanish Company Vidrala in over 10 days time to stress the importance of the former Quinn Glass company to the community.  A meeting has been finalised in the area with the Chairman and other representatives of Vidrala on February 2nd.

It’s to highlight the concerns of the community about the recent takeover of the company and to press upon them the need for these jobs to remain in the area.  Earlier this month, Vidrala purchased the former Quinn Glass businesses in Derrylin and Elton as well as the filling operation at Elton, for a total of 408.6 million euro.

Fr Gerry Comiskey is a friend of the Quinn Family and parish priest in Drumlane, he told Northern Sound News more about this meeting.
