220 Mr. Ellis asked the Minister for Enterprise and Employment the plans, if any, the Government has regarding the creation of jobs in County Leitrim. [5844/97]
Leitrim is faring very well in terms of recent and proposed new job creation. On 24 February I announced that two new investments by overseas companies, with the support of IDA Ireland, will create 100 new jobs in County Leitrim. Investments will be made by: Westmark of Germany, a manufacturer of mechanical kitchen aids, which will create 88 new jobs in Carrick-on-Shannon, County Leitrim; and Lilly Industries of the US which will establish an industrial coatings facility and create 12 new jobs in Ballinamore, County Leitrim.
