A contemplative order of nuns has raised concerns that a new steel processing plant planned for the outskirts of Drogheda will detrimentally affect the order’s essential ‘prayful atmosphere’.
In May, Co Meath firm, Hibernia Steel (Manufacturing) Ltd lodged plans for ‘a state of the art’ ‘hot dip’ galvanising plant on the outskirts of Drogheda that will lead to the creation of 110 jobs.
The plant at Mell, Drogheda which involves large-scale dipping tanks, will process 36,000 tonnes of steel per annum.
