The point is serious promises were made that there would be €25 million in investment for a combined heat and power plant.

An article on tippfm.comon 5 June 2015 stated:

Funding and a fuel supply will have to be sourced before the combined heat and power plant can go to planning. [It had not even gone for planning permission or anything like it]. Because of this Deputy Lowry says Minister Kelly's announcement was premature. The Environment Minister was quick to refute Deputy Lowry's comments. However they did both agree that the investment was ultimately good news for Littleton and Tipperary.

We wonder why people are so cynical about the political system and so on, but it seems, two years on, that there was never going to be a combined heat and power plant.
