The first shipment of Irish Moss front the island was made by ;\l-yrick and .\lacliit0sh Ltd. in September, 1961. This prov- ed to be the start of an liidiistry that has been a boon to both i'armers and fisliernien. it has I‘ll‘0ll‘.’IlI a lot of money to P.l7..l. which had been spread out among a great many individual mcss gatlierers.
During the past , the market slowed down as the buy- ers in the area were forced to otit on the presstire for a better grade of Moss. .l.B. Yllyrick who is still very much in the business explained that with stricter re- gulations put into force a much higher and richer grade of moss is now for sale and the future market picture is very good and is expanding to other countries.
