As part of its €150m Regional Property Programme the IDA is directly investing in a building programme to help ensure property solutions are in place for overseas companies considering investing or expanding, thereby encouraging more foreign direct investment in regional locations. This programme includes the construction of an Advance Technology Building (ATB) in Carlow.

I understand that IDA Ireland has selected a suitable site for the Carlow ATB and is currently in the process of acquiring this. Following successful acquisition, planning permission will be lodged and construction will begin in 2019, subject to planning permission being granted.
