Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - County Donegal Cement Factory.
27.
I am not aware of any current proposal to erect a cement factory in the Manorcunningham area of County Donegal.
What does the Minister mean by saying any current proposal? Was there any proposal in the recent past?
There was an announcement by the company some time ago, on 3rd June, 1964, saying that they had a proposal under consideration but I am not aware of any current proposal.
Has it been abandoned?
I do not know whether you could call it abandoned or not.
Is the Minister aware that gossip has it that the site has been transferred to another place in Donegal?
There is no proposal, I gather, for any extension in that region.
Is there no proposal for County Donegal at all?
