Mike Glennon said, “We would like to thank Minister Hayes for taking the time to visit our Fermoy plant, to see first hand the important contribution of Glennon Brothers and the Irish sawmilling sector to the Irish economy”.
Pat Glennon, Glennon Brothers added they were delighted with the opportunity to show Minister Hayes the progress of the €12m capital investment programme in value added processing at the Fermoy site. “We look forward to working with the Minister to promote and develop the Irish sawmilling sector and the wider Irish forest product sector over the coming years,” he added.
