View answerUnder the Industrial Development Acts 1986-2006, IDA Ireland has the power to acquire, hold and dispose of land, and any other property or any interest therein, for the purpose of facilitating an industrial undertaking.
I am informed by IDA Ireland that the agency holds approximately 1.57 hectares of land at Castledermot, Co. Kildare. In line with IDA Ireland's Property policy this land, which is zoned for general development under the Castledermot Local Area Plan 2009, is currently for sale on the open market through auctioneers Lisney/Conway. Offers from interested parties should be directed to Lisney/Conway or the Property Management Division in IDA Ireland.
The lands are being sold with the benefit of Freehold Title.
