Alan Dillon (FG), Mayo

I again raise the issue of the long-awaited strategic development zone, SDZ, at Ireland West Airport Knock. It has real potential and will provide for a new business and economic hub with the potential to deliver future employment for more than 4,000 people. I note that the west regional enterprise plan includes an objective to advance the development of a regional enterprise and innovation ecosystem in the region, with action 5 of this objective referring to strengthening the enterprise strategy for the SDZ at Knock airport.
The designation presents a great opportunity for the west, the airport and County Mayo, but this project is limping on and needs an injection of funding by the Government to progress plans for the development.
