Amharc ar fhreagraThe administration of IDA Ireland’s overseas offices is a day to day matter for the Agency and is not one for which I have statutory responsibility.
IDA Ireland has informed me that it has a representative based in Ireland House, Sydney, Australia. The cost associated with the representative and the office is included in the overall expenditure of €10,516,000 incurred in running all of the Agency’s overseas offices during 2011. Specific details relating to costs of individual offices are not published as this information is commercially sensitive.
