Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment (Mr. Martin)

In the context of the State agencies involved in enterprise development, the issue of business parks and possible feasibility studies for such parks in this State is a matter for IDA Ireland in the first instance and not one in which I, as Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, have a direct role.
