I have been informed by IDA that in the period from January 2007 to date in 2010, there have been a total of 469 site visits by potential investors to Dublin (City and County), Cork (City and County) and Galway (City and County). Details of the locations of these visits are set out in the attached tabular statement. Because potential investors regularly visit locations in both the city and the county on the one visit, it is not possible in the time available to give details of each of the itineraries undertaken. When the information becomes available, I will forward it to the Deputy.
Table showing the number of site visits to Dublin (city and county), Cork(city and county) and Galway (city and county ) in the period from January 2007 to date in 2010
