A shuttered water bottling plant has been saved after a multi-million-euro investment led by an Irish tech entrepreneur, paving the way for up to 60 new jobs.
The former Classic Mineral Water plant in Lurgan, Co Armagh, closed nearly two years ago after a contamination in its water supply was discovered, forcing the firm into insolvency.
