Vol. 374 No. 3

Written Answers. - IDA Grant Aid.

57.

asked the Minister for Industry and Commerce if he will immediately initiate a policy change in the IDA which will ensure that factories producing products banned for sale in the EC because of human health risks will not be grant-aided by the Irish taxpayer in future.

In considering proposals for location in Ireland, the IDA takes into account the relevant legal requirements both national and international including those relating to production and to the health and safety of users of the products. I am satisfied that a policy change is not required.
