As the present time 16 girls and 4 men are employed but this number will soon be increased.
All the Capital in the Company is Irish and all the workers are local. No foreign labour was ever employed in the Factory, with the exception of a German erecting the Machinery and he was only employed for one week.
The Raw Chemicals used are imported from Germany, Belgium and England but it is anticipated that a lot of these will be made in Ireland within the next few years.
