Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 30 November 2004
320 Mr. Naughten asked the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment further to Parliamentary Question No. 200 of 29 September 2004, the grant aid returned to his Department by the company; the total grant aid awarded to the company in the past ten years; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31136/04]
View answerThe total amount of grant aid provided by Enterprise Ireland and its predecessors to the company over the period 1994 to 2004 was €1,155,214.
The position on return of grant aid is unchanged from the information provided to the Deputy on 29 September 2004. No grant aid has yet been returned to Enterprise Ireland as discussions are ongoing between it and the company with regard to the level of liability. The issues are complex and involve other investment plans by the company. However, it is expected that negotiations will be concluded in the near future.
