Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Business, Enterprise and Innovation the companies that received in excess of €500,000 in grants from the IDA in 2018, in tabular form; the grant amount for each of these companies in 2018; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 507 and 520 together.
IDA Ireland is authorised by my Department to provide a range of financial supports to companies in the form of employment, capital, research and development, environmental and training grants. These grants remain an important means of encouraging firms to invest in Ireland, particularly in regional locations.
I am informed by the IDA that information on the total of grants paid to client companies in 2018 will be made available once they have been audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General. This audit should be completed by mid-2019.
