I propose to take Questions Nos. 938 and 940 together.
I am unaware of any proposals by the company referenced by Deputy Griffin to relocate its operations. It is also the case that this company announced plans some time ago to further expand its premises in its existing location. However, its sister company in that same town had been considering a possible relocation in Ireland due to the forthcoming expiry of its lease in its current rented accommodation. That latter company did inspect a wide range of premises in various locations, with the active engagement and cooperation of IDA Ireland. Unfortunately, however, the company ultimately decided not to seek an alternative facility and intends to close its operation in its current location.
IDA Ireland will continue its ongoing efforts to secure new investment projects for County Kerry. In relation specifically to Castleisland, an official from the IDA met with Castleisland Chamber Alliance earlier this year to discuss how best to attract foreign direct investment to the town.
With regard to the premises in County Monaghan referred to by Deputy Smyth, IDA Ireland continues to market that building to potential clients.
