A new Government initiative to financially back a return of more flour mills in Ireland has been announced.
At present, Ireland has only one industrial‑scale flour mill, located in Portarlington, run by Odlums, which is owned by Valeo Foods. There are two in Northern Ireland, James Neill’s Flour Ltd. and Andrews Flour.

“Go to Dublin and you would think you landed in Kinshasa.”

You've got to be kidding me. He talks like this is AI, microchips or a commercial satellite launching operation. Its not like flour mills have been around for oh, I don't know, several thousand years. Its a real "investment" in longer term sustainability to subsidize inefficient flour mills.
And what sense does this make? You can produce neither whiskey nor beer with flour. Glory be, where do they find these daft politicians?
