CRH and Israel's sole cement producer

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday April 04, 2003 22:58author by J Sheehy

Irish cement multinational, Cement Roadstone Holdings (CRH) has a 25% share( with an option to buy 25% more) in Mashav, the holding company of Neshev Cement Israel's sole cement producer. Mashav "runs two dry process production lines at its main facility in Ramla and a single semi-dry process plant at Har Tuv, which supplies cement throughout Israel, the West Bank and Gaza". CRH's former chairman Des Traynor was the central figure in the Ansbacher scandal, and more recently the company has been implicated in illegal dumping in Wicklow and has had a number of legal actions taken against it in the US in relation to asbestos. http://www.crh.ie/ (see 2001 Annual report page 8-9) http://www.onbusiness.ie/2001/0810/crh.html

Is this an attempt to discriminate against an entire nationality?

CRH have a subsid called Farrens. Martin McGuinness signed over a number of schools into their care in the name of PFI -privatisation. They are making a fucking fortune. Question is this : Is there a northern Ansbacker account and who has their troughs in it? Unionists? SDLP? SF? They all gave PFI the double thumbs up!!!

Let Us Boycott CRH?

Come fellas. Not going to call for a boycott of CRH. Really, they are a quarter Jewish. Under Hitlers laws that qualify's them as Jews, sorry Israelis.

Good on you CRH, at least some Irish companies do not believe in the Israel haters.

The previous posting is a racist insult to the Jewish people and should be deleted by the site operators.
