Mushroom-growing development in Donegal
Conaghan asked the Minister to recognize Donegal’s mushroom-industry expansion as part of the overall plan. Kirk acknowledged the development, and Leonard described Donegal as a natural progression from Cavan-Monaghan.
I refer to the question raised by Deputy Leonard and the Minister's reply. I have a keen interest in this matter because of the various areas in which mushroom growing is now an enterprise. The Minister failed to mention Donegal. I wish him to put on record that Donegal is incorporated in his overall plan and that he is aware of the extensive development currently taking place there.

I apologise for omitting County Donegal. I was simply taking the other counties as an example of the kind of expansion which has taken place. I fully agree there is a very worthwhile and welcome development in Donegal, where we are looking forward to a rapid expansion.
