437. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Enterprise, Tourism and Employment for an update on planned schemes to support the development of flour manufacturing in Ireland; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6474/26]
View answerOn behalf of the government, Enterprise Ireland has been working to develop a scheme to support enterprises seeking to establish large scale flour mill projects in Ireland.
The establishment of a commercial scale flour mill or mills in Ireland would have a number of key benefits including strengthening security of food supply and improved competitiveness and sustainability in the bakery sector. Development of the scheme was informed by a feasibility report commissioned by Enterprise Ireland, which was prepared in close consultation with industry stakeholders.
Enterprise Ireland will now engage with key stakeholders regarding the application process for the scheme.
