View answerI propose to take Questions Nos. 628 to 630, inclusive, together.
I understand that the company in question has sought planning permission from Cork County Council to increase its manufacturing capacity for future biopharmaceutical products. I am informed that this potential expansion has not been postponed and that the project, at the appropriate stage in the investment process, is expected to be submitted for approval by the company’s board of directors.
