I am informed by IDA Ireland that information in relation to site sponsored visits by potential investors is provided on a county by county basis only and during 2012, 2013 and 2014 there were a total of 581 such visits to Dublin, city and county. For reasons of commercial sensitivity and client confidentiality IDA Ireland does not release details of individual locations visited or comment on upcoming visits arranged. The number of site visits by potential investors to Dublin city and county in each of the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 are set out in the attached tabular statement. It must also be remembered that decisions as to where to visit and where to locate is ultimately a matter for the investor.
