Clare’s Junior Minister insists his fellow Clare Fine Gael TD was wrong to criticism him over the failure to secure a buyer for the Roche plant in Clarecastle.
Pat Breen came under fire from Clare TD Joe Carey, who expressed disappointment in Deputy Breen and the government’s efforts to find a new firm to invest in the site.
Swiss Pharma giant Roche announced it was to pull out of Clare in 2015 and two potential buyers fell through; the plant was later taken off the market with plans for remediation.

Despite Deputy Carey’s criticism of the Junior Minister’s work on the Roche issue, Deputy Breen says he is liaising closely with the IDA on the site’s future.
