Question 220: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if it is intended to relocate the services of Enterprise Ireland, currently located in Glasnevin, Dublin 11 to another site; if so, the intended use of the present premises; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The issue of Enterprise Ireland's office accommodation is an administrative matter for the agency itself and authority for decisions regarding its property clearly rests with the agency under section 6 and section 24 of the Industrial Development (Enterprise Ireland) Act 1998. Enterprise Ireland operates from four locations in Dublin and has always sought to unify the agency in order to achieve greater levels of efficiency and cohesion. Furthermore, the leases on two of its Dublin offices will expire shortly presenting an accommodation problem for the agency.

I understand that discussions with staff are ongoing with a view to relocating the agency's Dublin based offices to East Point business park.
