asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will reconsider his decision in regard to the continued designation of Clara, County Offaly as an area for industrial development in the light of the facts made available by the county development officer and the county manager.
From information supplied to me by the Industrial Development Authority regarding present employment in Clara, together with employment expected from further projects now being negotiated, I consider that industrial development in the town is proceeding satisfactorily, and that continued designation is not warranted.
