Vol. 238 No. 7

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Industrial Estate for Drogheda.

62.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if, since Drogheda Corporation have decided to apply for an extension of the borough boundary, he will examine the possibility of providing an industrial estate on one of the many suitable sites to be available soon.

The selection of development centres at which further industrial estates will be established must await consideration of the Buchanan Report and the Government's decision regarding future overall policy in relation to additional industrial estates.

Does Deputy Donegan's question not presuppose that the request for an extension of the boundary will be granted?

That may be so.

I would not bank on it.

Deputy Donegan may sometimes count his chickens before they are hatched.

Other people have been counting their chickens in Louth, including the county manager.
