225 Deputy Michael Ring asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if she will ascertain from the Industrial Development Authority the position regarding a project (details supplied) in County Mayo; the number of units available in total at that location; the number that have been occupied; if there is active interest in the location by investors; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe management of IDA Ireland's industrial property portfolio is a day-to-day operational matter for the Agency, as part of the statutory responsibility assigned to it by the Oireachtas and it is not a matter in which the Minister of the day has any involvement.
I have been informed by IDA Ireland that the Agency acquired 37 acres of land at Westport for development into a flagship Business & Technology Park. The Agency has invested a total of €3.5m on site development and a landscaping programme for the Park.
