asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce the total amount of grant that has been approved for the industry in the Birr IDA factory and for the Clara factory, County Offaly.
Written Answers. - Offaly IDA Grants.
88.
It is standard practice for the Industrial Development Authority to give certain assurances to firms in regard to the confidentiality of negotiations and agreements entered into. These include an undertaking not to disclose information regarding a grant approval until the publication of the annual report of the year in which the first grant payment is made. I regret, therefore, that I cannot provide the information requested at this time.
No project has yet been approved for the advance factory in Clara. The IDA are continuing to seek a suitable project for this factory.
