Conlon congratulates Monaghan Mushrooms on its multi million Euro expansion

Local Fianna Fáil TD Margaret Conlon has warmly congratulated Monaghan Mushrooms on the official opening today of its new state of the art mushroom growing facility at Tyholland.

Deputy Conlon is attending the opening today, which is being conducted by her colleague the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Brendan Smith TD.

The multi million Euro investment, and the some 150 jobs that will be created as a result, are a very welcome boost for the area, she said.

“This is wonderful news for Monaghan Mushrooms and for County Monaghan and I want to extend my warmest congratulations to Ronnie Wilson. His entrepreneurial spirit really is to be commended.”

“I understand that the new mushroom growing facility is made up of 18 individual mushroom growing houses and will have an output of 115 tonnes of mushrooms per week, most of which will be exported to the UK.”

“The creation of up to 150 jobs at this facility is very welcome indeed and I want to wish Mr Wilson and his team continued success into the future,” concluded Margaret Conlon TD.
