With the permission of the Ceann Comhairle, I propose to take Questions Nos. 29 and 30 together.
It was originally intended that the IDA would build a 7,000 sq.ft. advance factory at Skibbereen The Authority are now at an advanced stage of negotiation with an overseas company which is considering the location of a project at Skibbereen. As the proposed 7,000 sq.ft. factory could not accommodate this project, the IDA have now applied for planning permission for the construction of a 27,000 sq.ft. factory, which will be in substitution for the smaller factory. Construction of this bigger factory will commence as soon as possible.
