Dara Calleary (Mayo, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Small can be good. Through its strategy IDA Ireland is developing only 19 advanced building solutions in 15 regional locations and Carlow is one of them. This is a very serious statement of intent on the part of IDA Ireland and the Government that we are taking Carlow's potential seriously. We are increasing its attractiveness as a location for direct investment. Having the ability to offer a building will transform its potential to attract new clients. We will sit down with Deputy Murnane O'Connor and IDA Ireland and discuss its plans to sell this new facility, which should be due for completion in the coming weeks.
