P-Fil Laboratories the Newry arm of Oalor Holdings the worlds largest Cat's Eye Manufacturer has put out an urgent request for help in our area for for sourcing the raw material needed for the essential road safety product.
Kitty McCrea, Chief Operations Officer of the Greenbank located company told Newry.info "We are in an extremely difficult position at the moment where supplies of the much needed Corneal Membrane we need have virtually dried up"
"If we can't source enough new material in the next few weeks road safety and lives will be put in danger"
It is thought about Nine times the present supply is needed and if this doesn't become available existing Cats Eyes already on the road will have to be spread out possibly as far as 500 Metres apart.
She continued "Cats have become less and less popular as pets as the population moves towards living in apartments and flats hence our supplies of the much needed reflective Corneal Membrane from their eyes have dwindled."
"I would appeal to anyone who knows of any dead cats in the area to let us know as a matter of urgency and we will take care of the rest. We are certainly not asking for a Burke and Hare type operation but on the other hand as professionals we don't need to ask too many questions"
