-----for use as fuel in commercial, industrial and domestic boilers. It is a great announcement for mid-Louth. The facility will increase the county's number of jobs.

One week or ten days ago, many colleagues heard me make a plea regarding the application of carbon tax to fire logs manufactured by Standard Brands in Kilsaran, Castlebellingham.

It is good news for County Louth and shows that, on occasion, Ministers listen to Senators.
