Ireland's three main meat processors will have a combined market share of approximately 90-95pc in the purchase of live lambs after Dawn Meat's acquisition of Kildare Chilling.
Despite the 'highly concentrated' nature of the market for the purchase of live lamb and sheep for slaughter in the State, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission (CCPC) still found the deal would not significantly lessen competition.
