Joe Flaherty (FF), Longford-Westmeath

The Minister of State, Deputy Calleary, is very familiar with Longford and has seen the success and benefits of foreign direct investment, FDI, in the town. Indeed, he has commented on it previously. In a half-mile triangle in the town we now have three companies employing 2,300 people. That is certain to grow with Abbott Diagnostics, Avery Dennison Medical and Technimark Ireland all focused on growth plans. Mindful of the importance of foreign direct investment, FDI, for provincial Ireland, I ask the Minister of State to update the House on the IDA's plans for an advanced building solution for Longford town.
