Harney praises Mallow’s case for Government department

MALLOW made a very good case to secure a Government department in the upcoming decentralisation plan due to be revealed before the end of July, Tánaiste Mary Harney said yesterday.

The North Cork town will need 3,300 extra jobs by 2020, according to a new report on Mallow launched by Ms Harney yesterday.

She said the Cabinet has not yet made a final decision on what towns will get a decentralised Government department but Mallow had made a very good case for selection.
