Officials in my Department have confirmed that efforts are continuing to find a buyer for this site. Enterprise Ireland (EI) is providing ongoing support by facilitating introductions to potential buyers where appropriate. The owners of the business have also appointed an external agent that is actively seeking interest from potential purchasers of the facility.

While there has been a number of expressions of interest to date, active promotion of the facility is ongoing, and further expressions of interest are being sought from potential suitable parties both in Ireland and internationally. EI will continue to support the promotion of the facility to any relevant potential purchaser.
