Speculation in Boyle yesterday Wednesday that an announcement would be made later in the day on the future of the closed Green Isle factory in Greatmeadow proved unfounded.
Word had spread quickly through the town that a prominent West of Ireland business had bought the factory and that a “signing” of the sale was to take place on Wednesday afternoon.
When contacted by Boyletoday.com the company in question were not in a position to answer any questions on the matter.
It is understood that meetings did take place on Wednesday between the auctioneer, vendor and a potential purchaser but according to a source close to the project “to comment and state that a sale is being signed is nothing more than idle speculation right now as there are a number of issues to be dealt with before any signing takes place”.
