Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 20 June 2017
189. Deputy Niall Collins asked the Tánaiste and Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the position regarding IDA planned investments following the closure of a company (details supplied); if this site is owned by the IDA; the number of site visits to this specific site by potential investors since the closure; the process on finding a replacement company; and the number of vacant IDA sites in County Longford. [28402/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraI very much regret the decision by Cameron to cease its operations in Ireland. Creating new employment opportunities in County Longford to replace the jobs that will and have been lost remains a priority for my Department and its Agencies.
IDA Ireland has already been working hard to find a new investor for the site in question and the Agency continues to bring it to the attention of its clients. There have already been three visits to the site and more will be undertaken if required.
IDA Ireland has two properties available for investment in Longford, in both Aghafad and Longford Industrial Park.
