121. To ask the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation the efforts his Department and the Industrial Development Agency are making to attract a new company to the vacant Moy Isover facility in Ardfinnan, County Tipperary; if he is confident that a new company can be sourced for the factory which has been closed since November 2008; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

I am informed by IDA Ireland that the property mentioned by the Deputy is not in the ownership of the agency. IDA Ireland is aware, however, of the availability of this property but has not had any client requirements for this type of facility. If the owners of the property so wish they can request IDA to include the facility on the agency’s database for marketing. However, as the requirements for facilities vary from client to client, IDA Ireland has pointed out that it could only market this particular facility to potential clients if the facility meets the requirements of that particular client.
