Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 26 June 2018
614. Deputy Peadar Tóibín asked the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the amount of grant aid given to a company (details supplied) by Údarás na Gaeltachta; the number of jobs the company created; the length of time the company remained in the Baile Ghib Gaeltacht; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [27728/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraI have been informed by Údarás na Gaeltachta that employment grants of €170,000 and rent subsidy grants of €41,631 have been paid to the company referred to by the Deputy.
I understand that the company took possession of the factory premises in Baile Ghib in October 2014, that it had 23 full-time employees during 2015 but that that figure gradually fell to zero during the period from November 2015 to the end of February 2016.
I have been further advised by Údarás na Gaeltachta that they initiated proceedings against the company to revoke these grants but were unsuccessful in that regard.
