Decisions relating to the sale of land for industrial purposes fall to be taken by the Board of Shannon Development in the context of the day to day management of the company and are ones for which I have no statutory responsibility.

Shannon Development has informed me that the average price per acre of land sold for industrial purposes in County Limerick in the year 2000 was €110,478.98. The company has also explained that the corresponding figure for the year 2011 cannot, due to reasons of commercial confidentiality, be disclosed at this time.
