IDA Ireland has invested in the physical infrastructure required to attract today's FDI to Co. Roscommon, including €2.2m in a quality flagship Business Park in Roscommon Town. IDA has also undertaken a major upgrade and enhancement of its existing Industrial Estate at Racecourse Road/Gallowstown with regard to site services, broadband ducting and significant landscaping upgrades to bring the Park to top quality standards for marketing purposes. I would like to assure the Deputy that the State Development agencies under the aegis of my Department will continue to work together to attract and develop employment and investment opportunities for Boyle and County Roscommon generally.
