Annual Report and Accounts 2012: Discussion with IDA Ireland
12:00 pm
Mr. Barry O'Leary:
At the end we have a strategic site to attract a particularly capital intensive project into Ireland. We have found that in competing in the bio-pharmaceutical sector, we need to have large tracts of land with the infrastructure. If we look at north of Dundalk, around Dublin, Waterford, Cork and Galway, we have a number of these sites that are ready to go mainly for the bio-pharmaceutical industry and for companies like Merck and so on. That is why we assemble them over time.
