Littleton plant and rural jobs
Deputy Jackie Cahill asks what will happen to the Bord na Móna Littleton site after production ceased and whether it can provide local jobs. The Taoiseach refers the matter to the Communications, Climate Action and Environment Minister.
I wish to raise a matter in the context of the programme for Government and the Government's plans for the creation of employment in rural Ireland. Bord na Móna has ceased production at its Littleton plant in recent weeks. Does the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment have any plans for the 1,200 acre site in terms of providing some employment in the area?
