I understand that Enterprise Ireland met the company concerned to review its business plan to establish a manufacturing facility in County Donegal. Enterprise Ireland considered that the business plan required further development before it could consider investing in the business but confirmed that it would work with the company to develop its business proposition and the relevant application forms were provided to the company.
Enterprise Ireland later made contact with the company, which indicated that it had decided not to go ahead with the project. I understand from the agency that the company is engaged in exploring opportunities to establish a manufacturing plant in eastern Europe and might consider setting up a related facility in Ireland at a later date. Enterprise Ireland has encouraged the company to remain in contact if it wishes to pursue this opportunity.
