The company was established in 1824 in Birmingham by John Cadbury. Cadbury Ireland built its first Irish factory at Ossory Road, Dublin in 1933, at the time, the company manufactured and sold just three products.[1] It later moved to its current site in Coolock in 1964.[2] In 1948 the company built its chocolate crumb factory in Rathmore, County Kerry, about 20 miles from Killarney.[3]
In February 2015, the company announced it was closing its Tallaght plant and moving some of its production from Coolock to Poland, resulting in the loss of about 200 jobs.[4]
