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 for the attraction of foreign direct investment to the State and its regions. While I may give general policy directives to IDA Ireland, I am precluded under the Acts from giving directives regarding individual undertakings. I understand that a meeting took place on Friday last, 2 December, between officials of IDA Ireland's property division and members of Collooney Community Council, at which IDA Ireland agreed to sell the remaining land holding at Collooney to the community council.
