I understand that the project referred to in the question relates to an application submitted under the Enterprise Ireland Regional Enterprise Development Fund (REDF).
The €60m REDF is aimed at accelerating economic recovery in every part of the country by delivering on the potential of local and regional enterprise strengths. Over the next four years, the Fund will support significant collaborative regional initiatives to build on specific industry sectoral strengths and improve enterprise capability, thereby driving job creation.
A first Call under the REDF was issued earlier this year and the assessment of applications by Enterprise Ireland under this competitive call is currently underway. Full details on how applications are assessed have been published on Enterprise Ireland’s website.
I expect the decisions on the applications received arising from the competitive process to be announced shortly and since the process is ongoing, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further on the process or in respect of any individual application at this time.
