I have been informed by IDA Ireland that the 3 itineraries by potential investors mentioned in P.Q No. 34 of 12 November 2009 were to Letterkenny, Co. Donegal. While IDA Ireland can and does encourage clients to visit particular locations, the final decision on where to visit or locate is taken in all cases by the clients.
