Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2020
373. Deputy Gino Kenny asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if Enterprise Ireland support is being made available to companies that sell poppy seed or that have poppy seeds in their products; if not, when it was revoked; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerEnterprise Ireland’s mandate is to assist eligible undertakings which are either manufacturing companies or internationally traded companies employing more than 10 people. If an undertaking (solely) sells poppy seeds, then this would not be an eligible undertaking as they would be either a retailer or distributor.
Food manufacturing companies are eligible for funding consideration in line with Enterprise Ireland’s eligibility criteria and also any relevant regulatory or legislative guidance.
