IDA Ireland is an autonomous statutory agency set up under the Industrial Development Acts 1986-2003. The agency operates in accordance with the provisions of the Acts and under the aegis of my Department.

The management of IDA Ireland's industrial property portfolio is a day-to-day operational matter for the agency as part of the statutory responsibility assigned to it by the Oireachtas and not a matter in which I have any function. I understand that ongoing discussions are taking place between IDA's property executives and the parties mentioned by the Deputy.
