Industry-ready site has lain idle for 14 years

IDA Ireland is to be asked to explain why it has failed to attract any industry to a 21-acre site, developed 14 years ago, currently being used to graze animals.

The agency took over the site in Fermoy, Co Cork, from the Department of Defence after the closure of the army’s Fitzgerald Camp.

In 2002, the IDA created a new road into the site and serviced it with mains water, sewerage, and public lighting.
