Ivan Yates
Question:178 Mr. Yates asked the Minister for Public Enterprise if her attention has been drawn to the lack of any seed press in Ireland so that vegetable oils can be processed into fuel for multi-fuel engines; if she will consider financially aiding the establishment of a seed press unit in view of the fact that all materials such as rapeseed have to be exported for processing or if the Government is contemplating any support for such a proposal in the context of promoting Irish renewable vegetable oils as fuel; the proposals she has in this regard; and if she will make a statement on the matter.
