IDA Ireland property holdings in Tuam include a 14 hectare Business Park and an 11 hectare Business & Technology Park.

The Business Park was developed in the 1980s and received an infrastructural upgrade between 2012 and 2013 whilst the Business & Technology Park was developed in 2000. Both parks are held under IDA freehold title with tenants on long term lease agreements.

The table outlines the current status of each park. I am advised by IDA Ireland that there is sufficient property capacity in both to accommodate further foreign direct investment.
