IDA’s property investment in the regions is aimed at supporting economic development and job creation across IDA’s, Enterprise Ireland and local LEO’s respective client base.

It is essential that the West Region and Mayo has a competitive, sustainable property offering to enable the attraction and retention of investment and jobs.

IDA Ireland have publicly committed to build a new (second) Advance Technology Building in Mayo to support the winning of new investment and job creation.

The site selection process for the new building is well underway. On conclusion of site selection, the design and planning phases will commence. The specific dates for commencement of construction are wholly dependent on and subject to the successful outcome of these processes. IDA will use its best endeavours to deliver the building in a timely manner. IDA Ireland has engaged with Mayo County Council on its plans.

IDA continues to work with regional stakeholders and the private sector on opportunities to add to the supply of competitive property solutions in regional locations.
