Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 16 January 2018
616. Deputy Joan Burton asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation if there have been enquiries from prospective investors in relation to a replacement manufacturing industry for a site (details supplied) in County Kildare; the way in which the IDA is actively promoting the site to existing and potential investors; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [54428/17]
View answerAs I have previously noted, the site in question is not in IDA Ireland ownership. This means that the Agency has a lesser role in its potential sale than if it owned the property itself.
I understand, however, that the property was placed on the open market in July 2017 and that its owner has engaged agents to handle its sale. IDA Ireland is engaging closely with the owner about the facility and the Agency is aware of contact between prospective buyers and the company. The IDA will continue to draw the attention of both existing and potential clients - whether in Ireland or overseas - to the availability of the property.
