Providing property solutions can be a significant element in the winning of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), especially owing to the ongoing market challenges, and, accordingly, IDA Ireland continues to deliver and maintain a portfolio of advanced property solutions in support of our Enterprise Policy. In that regard, availability of zoned land for sale and development is vital to IDA's continued success in attracting FDI to Ireland. Moreover, IDA-owned property is also made available to Enterprise Ireland (EI) and Local Enterprise Office (LOE) client investments in regional locations.

The ongoing replenishment of stock is essential to ensure the portfolio remains fit-for-purpose and demonstrates longevity. As client requirements continue to evolve, there is a necessity and market imperative for IDA having ‘ready to go’ serviceable site solutions to support the initial and long-term investment plans of the agencies' client base.

IDA maintains a focus on land banks to future proof the ability of their property portfolio to support the project pipeline, most notably large-scale capital-intensive projects which can have significant regional and national economic impacts.

In these contexts, continued investment in infrastructure upgrades, provision and future proofing, in addition to further land acquisitions and the building of new buildings, are all critical to delivering on IDA’s and EI’s balanced regional development agenda.

In respect of IDA’s land portfolio, I am advised that the IDA has shared details of it’s portfolio with the Land Development Agency (LDA) and is constructively engaged with the LDA in that regard. The Agency currently has c.1186 hectares suitable for marketing to IDA and EI clients, both new and existing.  These sites are listed in Table 1 below.   There is an additional c.260 hectares on its parks that are unsuitable for development for reasons such as unsuitable topography, protected structures, archaeology and flood risk amongst others.

IDA currently has c.35 buildings, 15 of which are available for marketing, with the balance occupied under lease arrangements with clients. These are listed in Table 2 below.
