The Industrial Development Agency, IDA, owns a fully serviced, 150-acre site between Carrigtwohill and Midleton in my constituency. It is lying idle since 2007. There were plans to upgrade the road outside, the N25. Millions have been spent on the plans to upgrade the road, but the plans have now been shelved and there is no clarity. There is also a plan to build 2,500 houses at the other end of that road. That is also in jeopardy. The road is extremely dangerous. I have written to the Minister for Transport and Transport Infrastructure Ireland, TII, but have not received a response. Can the Tánaiste provide some clarity on this matter as it is very urgent?
