Limerick East): I am informed by the Industrial Development Authority that the site at Creagh to which the Deputy refers was not intended for an industrial estate but was purchased as a strategic site for industries requiring large water supplies. The IDA is continuing to promote the site for projects with these requirements.
I understand that Bord na Móna is continuing to review its plans for the erection of a peat briquette factory on its Ballyforan site and that the site is not available at present for alternative industrial development.
