RSM said the company had experienced “deterioration in trading” in recent months that resulted in “significant cashflow pressures”.

It led to the company ceasing to trade prior and 40 employees being made redundant on 5 September.

The company produces sliced cooked meats, bacon, pork and gammon to retailers in Ireland and the UK. The company is also engaged in the production of frozen foods and catering products.

Flynns operated from a factory in Roslea, County Fermanagh.
