I have been informed by IDA Ireland that so far in 2011, the agency has hosted three site visits by potential investors to Mullingar. In selecting locations to show companies, IDA Ireland seeks to include locations which have been affected by closures or job losses. However, while IDA Ireland seeks to influence the selection of location, the final decision on location is taken in all cases by the promoting company.
