An Independent candidate in this
week’s local elections in the Dungarvan/Lismore electorate area has welcomed
the news that Waterford County Council has granted planning permission for an
800 square metre factory in the Old Parish area of County Waterford.
The factory which is to be occupied by local couple
Jack and Marian Burke who plan to manufacture chocolate using milk produced in
Ireland.
Local man Seamus O’Donnell has welcomed the news
that the factory is to go ahead which could see up to twenty jobs for the area,
which he has described as a great boost for the local economy.
It is hoped that construction work will begin in
the immediate future.
The factory is to be located at the Údarás na
Gaeltachta site at Barrnastook (https://www.google.ie/maps/@52.014464,-7.623702,3a,75y,270h,88.8t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sjuwv3QBLnlsCLlryzU_G4w!2e0)
at a site on the main road between An Rinn and Ardmore.
The site was purchased in the 1990’s by the Údarás
and had one factory unit built on it which has been used by different companies
over the past twenty years.
Despite the best efforts of locals since the site
was purchased attempts to build further units on the site have not happened
until now.
The new factory is scheduled to commence production
by December of 2014.
