View answerThe Amann facility is privately-owned and not in IDA Ireland’s property portfolio. It currently belongs to Bioatlantis, an indigenous Irish company, which occupies c.70,000 sq.ft. of the building for its own manufacturing requirements. The remaining 75% of the building is available for lease.
Although not an IDA Ireland building, the agency continues to follow up on FDI opportunities relating to the facility, including with the former owner, and has also promoted the facility to a number of potential clients, through IDA Ireland’s network of overseas offices.
IDA Ireland will continue to work with Bioatlantis and promote the facility when and where appropriate.
