IDA Ireland is the State Agency with responsibility for marketing Ireland, including individual areas, as a location for foreign direct investment and Enterprise Ireland is the State Agency with responsibility for developing indigenous industries.

As part of their operational responsibilities under the Development Acts IDA Ireland has in place a property portfolio to foster and encourage industrial development. From enquiries I have made with the Agency I understand that they are leasing four buildings in County Wexford, one at Whitemills in Wexford town and three at Moyne, Enniscorthy, of which two are occupied by an Enterprise Ireland client engaged in plant propagation. Enterprise Ireland has no property in Wexford or in the named towns. The details of IDA buildings are set out in the following table.
