Ray Coyle, the Irishman behind Tayto crisp company Largo, has sold his final stake in the firm to a German snack food business.

Mr Coyle sold a final 25% share to Intersnack this week.

One of Ireland's most successful businessmen, Mr Coyle founded Largo in the 1980s and went on to take over the Sam Spudz brand and create Hunky Dorys.

Largo then bought the Tayto brand from C&C for €68m in 2006.

Mr Coyle is to stay on as chairman until 2017, as he re-enters the food business with different start-ups.

One of his recent businesses, Tayto Park in Ashbourne, Co Meath, is now flourishing, with nearly three quarters of a million visitors in 2015.
