Recent interest and enquiries regarding the former Amgen site outside Carrigtwohill are being actively pursued, Cork East Fine Gael TD, David Stanton has learned. Deputy Stanton understands that IDA Ireland has been approached by four separate potential investors in recent months.
‘I believe that the former Amgen site is a top class location for industry, easily accessible by road and rail and in close proximity to Cork Airport and Port. Recently I wrote to the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation and IDA Ireland seeking an update on efforts to secure an investor for the site and they assure me that the site is being marketed both here and abroad. It is extremely encouraging to hear of such considerable interest this year.
‘The previous investment in the site and surrounding infrastructure and utilities make if very attractive to investors in that it will minimise the start-up cost for IDA and Enterprise Ireland companies. I am advised that IDA continues to actively engage with Cork County Council, utility providers and other key stakeholders and is also evaluating opportunities with regard to master planning to enhance the site’s marketability to prospective clients.
‘I am confident that, with sustained marketing and engagement with interested parties, a suitable investor will be secure for the former Amgen site. Securing an indigenous or foreign direct investment company would be a huge boost for Carrigtwohill and Midleton and the East Cork area as a whole.’
