Section 8(a) of the Industrial Development Act 1993 provides that one of the functions of IDA shall be to promote the establishment and development, in the State, of industrial undertakings from outside the State. The level of grant paid to individual projects is a matter for the Agency itself, subject to upper limits set in WTO subsidy rules, EU state aid law and the provisions of Irish legislation.
