I am informed that the Industrial Development Authority approved two small industries for Ardara in 1982 which will provide 64 additional jobs at full production.

These projects involve a fixed asset investment of £157,400 to which IDA will contribute £72,600 in grants.

In the case of John Molloy Limited, the grant will enable the company to expand their operations to employ an additional 42 persons, bringing employment to 80 on full production. The IDA approved a small industry grant in 1982 to Gallaghers Bakery to create an additional 22 jobs. They employed 43 persons in January 1983.
