The management of IDA Ireland's industrial property portfolio is a day-to-day operational matter for the Agency, as part of the statutory responsibility assigned to it by the Oireachtas.

The location of the 6 units in the Waterford Industrial Estate on which the Agency has long term lease agreements, and which are currently available for use, is set out in the attached tabular statement.

For reasons of confidentiality and commercial sensitivity it is not possible to release details of persons from whom these properties are being leased.

These leases, which are 35-year leases, were entered into in the 1980s and in the time available it has not been possible to provide a history of the occupancy nor the cost to date of leasing each of these properties. I have asked the Agency to forward this information to the Deputy in due course.
