History and profile of Carton Brothers.
"Nationwide", RTE One TV,
9 May 2011.
- In 1970, Carton Brothers moved from Dublin to a massive new chicken processing plant in Shercock, Co.Cavan. Think this is it in street view on NW side of Shercock, on the lake.
- Carton Brothers head office is now at Bracetown Business Park, Clonee, Co Meath (not far from Dublin). See street view of entrance to park.
- They are poultry and egg distributors, and also do ready-made meals and animal feed. They are Ireland's largest processor of chicken meat.
- The company's chicken brand is "Manor Farm Chicken". Website is Chicken.ie.
Disproved: Link to Oliver St.John Gogarty
It was previously thought that Fonso Carton was a 2nd cousin of Oliver St.John Gogarty.But Garrett Carton says this has been disproved.
Their connection is to the Gogarty family next door to Carton on Halston St, but apparently these are no relation to Oliver St.John Gogarty.
