Job Fears in Limerick as Poultry Producer Goes into Liquidation

Fears are growing over the future of one of Ireland's largest poultry producers.

Cappoquin Chickens, which employs 150 full-time and 100 seasonal workers, is one of the largest employers in west Waterford. RTE News has reported that the company has gone into liquidation.

Cappoquin Chickens has been operating for nearly 50 years, run by generations of the O'Connor family from Cappoquin. Along with employees from west Waterford and east Cork, the company has cold storage depots in Dublin, Galway and Limerick.
