Whatever Happened to The Sweet factory?
This letter from Mary Murphy in 1990 asked a question we have all been wondering about since the topic of the NKM factory came up here.
Dave O’Sullivan has done a bit of research for us and the bottom line seems to be that the sweet factory relocated to Dublin in 1925 following a strike at its Listowel plant.
First, let’s go back to 1920 and ’21 when the factory was in full flight and offering good employment to what seems to be a predominantly female workforce.
