My Department does not own any land in Co. Meath.
IDA Ireland maintains a supply of available sites that can be offered to firms considering making job-rich investments in Ireland. This helps encourage investors to locate here, particularly in the regions. In Meath, I am informed that IDA Ireland has 24.21 hectares of land available for this purpose at its Business and Technology Park in Boyerstown, Navan, and 22.53 hectares of land available at its Business Park in Donore Rd. Drogheda. This location is on the Meath-Louth border and IDA now classifies this land as part of its Co. Meath inventory.
The IDA is doing everything it possibly can to showcase these properties to investors and to convince them to locate there. The Agency actively brings regional locations and suitable sites to the attention of all its clients, whether it's for existing companies in Ireland that are looking to expand or first-time clients overseas.
It should be stressed that the IDA works closely with city and county councils to ensure that its property acquisitions are in line with local area, county and city development plans.
