Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation (Deputy Heather Humphreys)

The availability of an adequate supply of marketable serviced land and buildings in advance of demand is a key element in the IDA's ability to compete for mobile foreign direct investment. The availability of property solutions allows projects to commence at an earlier date by diminishing much of the difficulties associated with land acquisition, planning and construction. It is, therefore, an important means by which the IDA can encourage and attract new investors to County Cork.

The following tables list all IDA Ireland land available for marketing (Table A) and occupied IDA Ireland properties (Table B) in County Cork as at the end of Quarter 4 of 2017:
