Clondalkin mill partition wall
The Minister said the temporary fire-resistant partition was for operational control, security and fire precautions, cost £4,620 rather than £35,000, and was not intended to inhibit reopening.
asked the Minister for Industry, Trade, Commerce and Tourism the purpose of the wall that is being built at Clondalkin Paper Mills at a cost of £35,000; and if it is a fact that the building of this wall will inhibit the re-opening of the mills as a paper manufacturing industry.
Comment on this
Arising from the agreement with Freedman McCormick Investments International Limited, in respect of operations at Clondalkin Paper Mills, demountable fire-resistant wooden partitioning has been erected on one side of the area of the mills at present leased to the promoters. This is a temporary measure regarded as necessary for operational control and heating by the company, for effective security and as a precaution in the event of fire. The actual cost of the work is £4,620.12 — including VAT — not £35,000.
I can assure the Deputy that the setting-up of this partitioning is not intended to inhibit in any way the plans of the company for the resumption of paper-making at Clondalkin Paper Mills.
