I am informed by the IDA that Roche remains the owner of the site and buildings at Clarecastle. Following the decision to close the facility in 2015, the company is now focusing on remediation and decommissioning of the site. The company is awaiting a planning decision from Clare County Council which I understand is due in January 2021, after which an application will be made for an EPA licence. The target start date for remediation work is September 2021.
