Irish cheese plant investment

Summary

Senator Comiskey welcomes a new United States cheese plant, predicting stronger dairy-sector growth, employment and exports.

I welcome the news that the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Deputy Simon Coveney, will open a $12 million cheese plant in the United States. This is very good news for the Irish agriculture sector. The dairy industry, which is experiencing significant growth, will achieve even higher growth from next year onwards, resulting in more jobs in the agriculture sector and an increase in exports to the United States of up to 40%. This is a significant development for the agriculture industry.
