Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 21 February 2013
119. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the plans the Industrial Development Agency and Enterprise Ireland have for a vacant unit (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9359/13]
View answerIn accordance with the Industrial Development Acts, the management of industrial property portfolios is a day-to-day operational matter for the enterprise agencies and not one in which I have a function. I am informed by IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland that the Pretty Polly building in Ballyspillane is owned and in trust to Killarney County Council. The Agencies have explained that the premises was formally a manufacturing facility and the options for the building in its present format are limited. Killarney Town Council is assessing the options for which the building may be used and, to this end, has commissioned Exodea Consulting to undertake a report on the development of the site and the potential uses for the building. A full report outlining the options for the building is expected in the near future.
