This is solely a matter for Údarás na Gaeltachta. However, I understand from an tÚdarás that the organisation assisted the establishment of the company in question in 1996 by means of employment grants. Factory space, which had been identified for the company, is not now available as an tÚdarás did not receive information which it had requested from the company in order to assess its application for space. The company has been reminded about the need for this information on a number of occasions in the past number of years and some progress has been made recently in progressing the case.
