2021 Financial Statements of Enterprise Ireland: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Leo Clancy:

We are. Anecdotally, I have had numerous conversations with our own clients who need to establish manufacturing facilities or other facilities in Ireland. I have cited on numerous occasions that Bord na Móna sites are a golden opportunity for them. I really believe that to be true.

In response to your earlier comments, Chair, I also think Portlaoise is ideally situated in the centre of the country to be both commutable for people from a wide catchment area of employment and to have opportunities for freight and other matters. We are very positive on it. I cannot comment on any specific projects but we are always mindful of Bord na Móna's sites and of Laois in the context of our discussions with clients.
