The site in question, which comprises approximately 54 acres of land at Carrigtowhill in County Cork, is owned by IDA Ireland. The Agency continues to actively market the site to potential investors. 

IDA Ireland is engaging with Cork County Council and other key stakeholders to ensure the site is best placed to attract investment.  The site presents an attractive option to potential investors and benefits from previous upgrades to infrastructure and utilities which could reduce the start up costs for any company locating there.

IDA Ireland collates data on site visits on a county-by-basis only so information is not available on visits to specific locations within a county. In 2017 there were 51 site visits to Cork and a further 10 in the first quarter of this year.
