I assure the Deputy that no effort is spared by the IDA to pursue opportunities for the site. It is state of the art. If there was any slacking on the part of the IDA, the Minister of State, Deputy Tom Hayes, would keep them up to their job. He is regularly in contact about opportunities in the area. The plant is owned by Johnson & Johnson and it is not an IDA plant. There is more than one party to this. There is close collaboration between the IDA and Johnson & Johnson and we intend that the same relationship will be developed in the hands of the new owner. We are anxious to see the facility, which is a fantastic asset to the region, fully utilised.
