Ceisteanna (335)

Eamon Scanlon

Ceist:

335. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the number of IDA site visits that have taken place in each county over the past five years; the confirmed visits to take place in each county in 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [4266/18]

The table below outlines the total number of annual site visits to each county since 2012. The figures for 2017 are only for the first three quarters of that year. Final figures for the totality of 2017 will become available next month.

For reasons of commercial sensitivity and client confidentiality IDA Ireland cannot provide details on possible future site visits by potential investors.

It should be remembered that the IDA always does its utmost to encourage investors to locate in regional areas. The final decision, however, always rests with the company itself.
