IDA 'actively marketing' Mayo's new Advance Technology Building

JOBS Minister Mary Mitchell O'Connor has confirmed that IDA Ireland has already conducted two visits to the new Advance Technology Building (ATB) at Breaffy Road in Castlebar.

In response to parliamentary questions tabled by Mayo TD Lisa Chambers, the minister elaborated: “IDA Ireland is actively marketing the facility to prospective investors, with two visits to the site having already taken place.

“Enterprise Ireland has also examined the possibility of securing the facility for a potential foreign direct investment project in partnership with IDA Ireland. Both agencies will continue to market the building to all relevant clients.”

She added construction of the facility is not yet complete and therefore details of its final cost are not currently available.

However, the standard construction cost for ATBs is approximately €4 million per building.
