Burtonport
A new fish processing unit is to be opened in West Donegal with the creation of up to ten jobs.
Burtonport Wild Atlantic Seafood has confirmed they are establishing a Fish Processing facility in Burtonport.
They will process crab, which will be procured locally, for the Export Market
Locals John and Michael Boyle, whose family have a long tradition in the fish sector, are the promotors.
They have purchased a factory in the Port and will shortly equip, refurbish and upgrade the factory to the highest standards
It is hoped that they will be in a position to commence production within a matter of months.
The project is supported by Udaras na Gaeltachta and Bord Iascaigh Mhara.
Pat the Cope Gallagher has welcomed the plan.
He said “This I hope will be the another stage in the revitalising of Burtonport as fish processing port.”
Pat the Cope paid tribute to the Boyles, who are in business in the UK, for investing in their local area.
