I have been informed by IDA Ireland that of the 12 IDA supported companies in County Kerry that have ceased to operate or have laid off workers in the past 10 years, 6 had an outstanding grant liability to repay. Of that number, 5 companies have repaid a total of €3,213,954 to the Agency. In the case of one company the Agency is in the process of grant revocation in the amount of €240,000. The tabular statement sets out the details of the companies involved and of the amounts of money refunded.
