The promotion of land banks to potential investors is the responsibility of IDA Ireland. The Agency was part of a team that assisted the company concerned in producing promotional material on the facility and site in Kilmeaden. The Agency has circulated the marketing and promotional material on the facility and site to its network of overseas offices. The Agency will promote the site for mobile overseas investment as appropriate.
Enterprise Ireland has made its regional and international staff aware of the availability of this land and continues to provide support within the realm of its remit.
The company concerned set up the 'Kilmeaden Task Force Group' in 2009 and Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland, Waterford County Council and Waterford Chamber are actively involved. There have been meetings held on an almost monthly basis.
