Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 8 December 2016
37. Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation if she has had discussions with Enterprise Ireland and the IDA in relation to the possibility of opening up IDA sites and buildings that are not occupied at present in rural Ireland to indigenous industries supported by Enterprise Ireland; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerThe Government and I are committed to regional development and increasing the number of long-term, sustainable jobs outside of Dublin. Key to achieving this will be the provision of suitable property solutions in the regions for both indigenous and international businesses.
IDA Ireland holds land and property for the purposes of promoting industrial development throughout Ireland. These property solutions service both IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland client companies.
IDA Ireland and Enterprise Ireland regularly engage with each other regarding the availability of IDA Ireland owned sites and buildings. Available units are actively marketed and are offered to the clients of both agencies.
