126. Deputy Dara Calleary asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the ownership status of an IDA Ireland site (details supplied) in County Galway; the lease agreement on the site; if a lease agreement is in place; IDA Ireland's plans to develop another site in the town; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

View answerIDA Ireland property holdings in Tuam include a 14 hectare Business Park and an 11 hectare Business & Technology Park.
The Business Park was developed in the 1980s and received an infrastructural upgrade between 2012 and 2013 whilst the Business & Technology Park was developed in 2000. Both parks are held under IDA freehold title with tenants on long term lease agreements.
The table outlines the current status of each park. I am advised by IDA Ireland that there is sufficient property capacity in both to accommodate further foreign direct investment.
