Glanbia investment announcement

Summary

Senator Mulcahy welcomes Glanbia’s announcement and asks for a ministerial account of how the large food-production project was developed and supported.

I acknowledge the Glanbia announcement yesterday. I have always been a great promoter of the added-value food production industry. We have the best organic product in the world which we need to support and that is how we will deliver indigenous jobs in this country. Would the Leader ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Bruton, to give us an overview as to how a project of this scale was put together with the support of his Department and Enterprise Ireland? It would be good for us to learn about this, given that in all the counties up and down the country we may well have similar opportunities, and if we knew how they were put together the Government would support those. I know there are confidential figures but I would like an overview of how the project was put together and delivered in the short space of the last two years.
