The location of IDA Ireland offices overseas is a day to day operational matter for the agency. I am informed by IDA Ireland that there are currently no plans to open an office in Toronto, Canada as the agency has an office in New York which handles marketing and investment queries from Canada. IDA Ireland already has a presence in Australia. The agency's representative is located in Sydney. I understand that there are currently no plans to open an office in Perth.
