Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 4 October 2016
605. Deputy Brendan Smith asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation her proposals to develop and promote a location (details supplied) as a suitable location for inward investment property held by the IDA in County Monaghan; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [28628/16]
View answerIDA Ireland markets County Monaghan as part the North East Region. The property referred to - which comprises 17 hectares of full-serviced land in Knockaconny - forms part of Monaghan’s value proposition and is included in the Agency’s marketing of the area. 7.56 hectares of this land is currently available. IDA Ireland continues to seek opportunities to utilise this land to attract investment to the area.
IDA Ireland is committed to attracting further investors to the North East region. It remains the case, however, that the ultimate decision as to where to locate is always made by the company concerned.
