With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 13 and 14 together.
I am assured by the Industrial Development Authority that both the 24,000 square feet advance factory and the 15,000 square feet small industry cluster in Buncrana are receiving priority treatment. Negotiations are taking place at present with industrial promoters who have expressed an interest in locating projects in these factories.
In order to cater for the growing manufacturing employment needs of the Buncrana area, I recently announced that the authority proposes to build a further 24,000 square feet advance factory in the town. In addition, the IDA are negotiating with Buncrana Urban District Council for the purchase of a further 8 acre site in the town.
