Administrators have been appointed to Glens of Antrim Potatoes, resulting in the loss of many jobs at the company. The appointment was confirmed and has prompted responses from local political representatives.

Ciarán O'Connor, Sinn Féin's East Antrim candidate, said the news was a devastating blow for workers, their families, and the local economy in the Glens. He expressed solidarity with those affected and said it is important workers are supported.

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council is being engaged by Sinn Féin councillor Oliver McMullan regarding access to support for the impacted workers. McMullan said support may include retraining and re-skilling opportunities to help workers enter other areas of work.

McMullan added he will engage directly with the workers to discuss available training options. Glens of Antrim Potatoes is based in the Glens of Antrim area of County Antrim.
