IDA Ireland is the agency with statutory responsibility for the attraction of foreign direct investment (FDI) to Ireland and its regions. The marketing of individual areas for new or expansion FDI investments and jobs is a day-to-day operational matter for the Agency.

The IDA Ireland has informed me that it has had two separate enquiries in relation to the Advance Factory in Tipperary town to date in 2009. For reasons of client confidentiality and commercial sensitivity, it would not be appropriate for me to comment further at this stage.
