I am aware from media reports of a proposal to develop flour milling facilities in Co. Wexford.

The setting up of any new enterprise in the agri-food sector is welcome but requires in-depth research and financial analysis in order to determine that any proposed development is commercially viable. Whilst my Department is available to assist in such cases, any development must be industry-led and is a matter in the first instance for the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

I would, therefore, advise the potential developers to engage with Enterprise Ireland if they have not already done so on any potential supports available from that agency.
