I am informed that the Industrial Development Authority are actively promoting Mitchelstown and Mallow as locations for the establishment of new industrial projects. In addition, the authority are actively co-operating with An Cómhlucht Siúicre Éireann Teo., with a view to finding an alternative project for the Erin Foods Limited factory in Mallow. The authority have a ten-acre site in Mitchelstown, a 21-acre industrial site and a 23,500 sq.ft. advance factory in Mallow which are available for suitable industrial projects.
