Shannon Development is the statutory agency with responsibility for indigenous industry in the mid-west area. All agency owned factories and industrial units in County Clare are in Shannon Development ownership and there is, therefore, no rental cost due from the agency. Rent charged by Shannon Development to tenant companies is based on the market value for the unit, having regard to its size and location, and varies accordingly. The total number of factories and industrial units owned by Shannon Development in County Clare is 470, of which 105 are vacant, and is detailed in the following table.
