Neither I myself or any of my officials, have held any meetings with this company since 2011.
IDA Ireland did engage with a linked company on several occasions in 2011. Negotiations with potential clients in relation to grant-in-aid are a day to day operational matter for the Agency and I have no function in the matter. For reasons of client confidentiality and commercial sensitivity, IDA cannot disclose any details of those discussions.
It was not possible to offer State assistance in this case.
