Vol. 263 No. 2

Written Answers. - County Donegal Industrial Expansion.

300.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce whether there are any proposals for the establishment of industry in County Donegal; and if he will give details of any such proposals.

I am informed by the Industrial Development Authority that one grant-aided expansion project is at present under construction in the county. A further expansion project has recently been approved for grant assistance but construction has not yet commenced. These two projects are expected to provide employment for 55 persons at full production. During the past six months, six projects have been approved for grants under the Small Industry Grants Scheme and a further ten projects are being considered for small industry grant-assistance.

Provision was made in the authority's interim advance factory programme for the building of four advance factories to be sited at Ballyshannon, Letterkenny, Carndonagh and Ballybofey. The buildings at Letterkenny and Ballybofey are now almost completed.
