Billy Kelleher (Cork North Central, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

I want the Minister of State to convey the sentiments that I have expressed on behalf of Deputy Scanlon to ensure there is a continual proactive engagement by the IDA in attracting and encouraging multinationals to locate and invest in the Sligo-Leitrim region. The fact that the Oakfield site is now coming on stream because of the collaboration between the local authority and the IDA is a positive development. I hope the Minister of State can give a commitment that he will convey those views. We must have continual site visits and promotion of the north west as a place to do business, specifically on the Oakfield site.
