Fine Gael Roscommon/South Leitrim TD, Frank Feighan, has welcomed the allocation by Minister for the Environment, Phil Hogan TD, of €200,000 in LEADER funding to support a biomass processing business in Strokestown, Co. Roscommon.

“As Minister Hogan has noted, this new technology, the first mobile service of its kind in the Republic of Ireland, has the potential to revolutionise the way biomass crops can be harvested.
