Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

The management of IDA Ireland’s property function, including the upkeep and maintenance of its business parks, is a day to day operational matter for the Agency and not one in which I have a function. I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Agency owns approximately 0.7 hectares of marketable lands at Farrantoreen, Killorglin, Co Kerry. The lands are serviced by an IDA roadway, which leads off from the main public roadway. A lighting remediation review is currently being undertaken by IDA Ireland at this location. I understand that the Agency met with representatives from the local Residents Association on the 18th October last and informed them of its intention to carry out the review.

Question No. 83 withdrawn.
