I am informed by IDA Ireland that IDA's units in Ballyshannon, and Donegal Town together with land holdings in the County are currently being transferred to the ownership of Donegal County Council. This transfer is part of IDA's rationalization programme, which was approved in 2009. A list of the various units involved is set out in the tabular statement. The transfer of these properties to the County Council was consented to by the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Innovation. The Minister's consent is required under legislation, when IDA is disposing of assets and the assets can subsequently be used for non industrial purposes.

I am informed by IDA that the Agency does not own any other buildings in County Donegal, but that it does hold a number of Marketing Leases on Privately owned buildings.

IDA has undertaken to provide the names of the companies occupying the properties involved within the next week and I will forward these to the Deputy .
