The company in question is at an early stage of development and is being supported by Enterprise Ireland (EI) to explore business opportunities in the nutritional powders market. Enterprise Ireland has ongoing contact with the company in this regard.I understand that the process to allow for the commencement of production at the factory is progressing.
