I propose to take Questions Nos. 1652 and 1653 together.

My Department, through IDA Ireland, has worked closely with the company on this proposed project since September 2014. This included the provision of different supports to the company, including Research and Development financial assistance. This led to the announcement, in January 2016, that a technology development facility would be established in Nenagh, with the creation of 300 jobs on completion of the project.

I understand that works are continuing on the facility and that it will be ready for occupation later this year. I have been informed as well that the company is currently in the process of recruiting a number of positions for the operation.
