Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 July 2021
37. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment the up to date position regarding the location of a company (details supplied) to the IDA Ireland advance facility in Tralee, County Kerry; if a timeline in relation to future activities and employment levels at the facility will be provided; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerCentral Pharma announced in December 2018 plans to establish an EMEA accredited contract packaging and supply centre at the IDA’s Advanced Technology Building in Tralee.
I understand that the company has subsequently experienced delays in progressing their plans in part due to Covid-19 restrictions which have delayed work on the site. However, I understand that once regulatory approvals have been received Central Pharma will be ready to commence operations.
The IDA has informed me that the company has already started to recruit key staff, and this will be followed by further hires. The company remains committed to its plans for the site.
