Silver Pail Dairy was placed under interim examinership by the High Court on 19 December 2022, after Mr Justice Brian O’Moore appointed Shane McCarthy to the company and a related entity.

The Fermoy ice-cream and cream liqueur business employed 82 full-time staff, alongside seasonal contract workers.

The court was told the group could survive if it underwent significant restructuring, and an examiner could seek investment and agreement with creditors.

The report said the company owed €4.16 million to trade creditors and €2.46 million to Revenue; the judge also approved pre-petition payments, including staff wages.
