A South Kerry councillor says it’s crucial that the future of Skelligs Chocolate remains in the Iveragh Gaeltacht.
Cllr Norma Moriarty was reacting after Paddy McKillen Jr succeeded in having an examiner appointed to the business.
Examinership is a court-supervised process allowing an insolvent company to restructure, offering protection from creditors for up to 100 days.

The company - Seaclaidi Na Sceilge Teoranta - which is based in St Finian’s Bay Ballinskelligs, employs 25 people.
Cllr Moriarty hopes the examinership is successful, but says if there is a buyer, it must make guarantees and stay in South Kerry:
