Adjournment Matters. - Cardinal Healthcare, Longford.
Under the Enterprise Ireland Community Enterprise Scheme, 2002, two approvals were made in County Longford. In this regard, Longford County Enterprise Board received €330,500 in management and capital grants and Lough Ree Area Development Society Ltd. received €13,000 in feasibility grants. Also, two new peat-powered ESB stations costing €450 million are planned for both Lanesboro and Shannonbridge. I understand that site works have already reached an advanced stage and the completion dates for both plants are October 2004 and January 2005 respectively. This investment will see ESB capacity in the two plants increase from 210 MW to 250 MW.
