Comment on this
I am informed that in the past two years the IDA have approved more than 70 projects with the potential to employ 640 persons at full production in County Kilkenny. Many of these jobs have yet to come on stream. The projects involve a fixed assets investment of over £25 million.
The IDA will continue to vigorously promote County Kilkenny for suitable industrial projects and will be giving the highest priority to securing the takeover of the Fieldcrest project. In addition the IDA have 33 acres available in the county for industrial development.
