The total amount of grants paid by Enterprise Ireland and its predecessors to the company in question over the period 1995-2005 was €424,065. In addition, the company received payments of €824,324 under the FEOGA Programme.

The company has not returned any grant aid to Enterprise Ireland. Discussions concerning grant aid to the plant at Rooskey, County Roscommon are still continuing. Progress is being made on the negotiations and I understand that a conclusion will be reached shortly. This will take account of a very significant investment which is being undertaken by the company in its pork division in Ireland. In addition, Enterprise Ireland is continuing its efforts to stimulate further investment at the Rooskey plant.
