Tony McLoughlin (Sligo-Leitrim, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I compliment the Minister, her team and Enterprise Ireland for the work that has gone into the allocation of this €30 million in recent days. I was pleased that my own constituency of Sligo-Leitrim got €1.9 million for the Sligo Enterprise and Technology Centre in Strandhill. That is an area crying out for a development such as this. Great effort has been put into that development, as it has in Drumshambo, where €950,000 was allocated to the Leitrim Food Enterprise Zone project. It is a project that has been highlighted for the past several years and it is a continuation of the hub already in Drumshambo. The area allocated for development in Strandhill is full to capacity. People are very happy with the Minister's announcement of the €1.9 million on Monday, as indeed is the board of the Sligo Enterprise and Technology Centre and that of the project in Drumshambo.
