I understand from Enterprise Ireland that Enterprise Castlerea was approved support of €350,000 by the agency for the Centre in question under the Community Enterprise Centre (CEC) Scheme in 2006. However, due to a delay in the transfer of a site from IDA Ireland to Roscommon County Council, a time extension to commence construction of the Centre was granted to the company on 24 March 2008. The time extension was to December 2008.

In December 2008, Enterprise Castlerea contacted Enterprise Ireland with an alternative proposal to the construction of the Centre. This proposal is for the purchase of a 30,000 sq. ft. building to be converted into enterprise units. The agency met with Enterprise Castlerea and requested that updated information be submitted in support of the new proposal. To date, only basic information has been submitted by Enterprise Castlerea about this alternative proposal. Additional information is necessary to form the basis of a recommendation to the relevant decision making Board within Enterprise Ireland.
