Under the Industrial Development Acts, the purchase, disposal or leasing of property by IDA Ireland is an operational matter for the Agency, and not one in which the Minister of the day has a function. I have been informed that the Agency has no plans currently in relation to the purchase of property in Carlow town. I understand from the Agency that there are a number of private sector developments in the Carlow town area, including both greenfield sites and office accommodation that could provide property solutions to overseas and indigenous companies considering Carlow for investment.
