I would welcome the opportunity to meet with a delegation from Monaghan County Council in relation to the former BOSE factory at Carrickmacross. My office will follow up with the County Council to arrange a suitable date.

I am informed by IDA Ireland that the Agency has had frequent engagement with Monaghan County Council and District Councils with regard to the Bose facility. More broadly, IDA Ireland has engaged directly with the executive and elected members of the Councils to discuss how Monaghan can best position itself to attract more foreign direct investment.
