Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

IDA Ireland: Chairperson Designate

Mr. Feargal O'Rourke:

That would primarily be an issue for the executive but I could not even talk about it. The minute I say we are looking at buying somewhere in County Westmeath, there would be a number of landholders with their ears up immediately. It is an executive issue. Even when we talk at a strategic level and look at the regions, we have to be extraordinarily careful about where we say we are buying next for fear that they see us coming. However, regional balance is again to the forefront of our strategic thinking.
