Written answers

Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation

I understand that the IDA met with representatives of the owner of the site last month. It was agreed that the IDA would be provided with marketing material for the facility, which the Agency will use to try and attract new investors.

The IDA will though continue its efforts to win further investment for County Kildare and I am hopeful that new jobs and projects can be secured in due course.
