Vol. 189 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Leitrim Grass Meal Factory.

24.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will examine the possibility of starting a grass meal factory at Dromahair, County Leitrim, as there are hundreds of acres of land in that area taken over by forestry which, if manured, would produce enough supplies to keep a factory in full production.

The company, Min Fhéir (1959) Teoranta, formed in pursuance of the Grass Meal (Production) (Amendment) Act, 1959, to establish a grass meal factory in the Bangor Erris area has yet to reach the production stage. Until the company has had practical operating experience I do not think it would be desirable to consider setting up another grass meal factory elsewhere.
