IDA Ireland: Discussion with Chairman Designate
12:50 pm
Mr. Barry O'Leary:
-----which has come up with a very good model. He built approximately 150,000 sq. ft. on spec, got in some of the multinationals and I am sure is flipping it as an investment opportunity. I think he is going to build another 100,000 sq. ft. or 200,000 sq. ft., which should be fairly good from a Cork perspective because companies such as Apple went out and built their own.
In other regions around the country, Galway is certainly tight from a property point of view. IDA Ireland will start constructing buildings in Waterford, Athlone and Letterkenny to facilitate winning FDI.
I think that is about it, unless there are any other ones that I missed out on.
