John Bruton Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry and Commerce (Mr. Bruton) Fine Gael
The Industrial Development Authority have been making vigorous efforts to attract new industrial projects to both of the towns mentioned. These efforts are being maintained. The Deputy will be aware that over the past year and a half projects had been secured on two occasions for the Edenderry factory but that in each case the promoters subsequently decided not to proceed.
