Written answers

The management of IDA Ireland's industrial property portfolio is day-to-day operational matters for the agency as part of the statutory responsibility assigned to it by the Oireachtas and not a matter in which I have a function.

I understand from IDA that the Agency's building portfolio currently consists of 139 units, of which 65 are owned by IDA and 74 are leased from private landlords (known as Private Finance).

Of these properties, 72 are leased and 38 are available for marketing. There are 25 properties under process of open market sale or transfer to Local Authority, while 4 are currently under lease negotiations.

The annual net cost, after deduction of rental income, to IDA of leasing these buildings is in the region of €4million per annum.

In the time available it has not been possible to give details of the location and status of each property in each of the past five years, but the attached tabular statement shows the location and status on a county by county basis of each of the 139 properties mentioned.
