An Taoiseach Micheál Martin was in Co. Wexford last Friday and he visited Enniscorthy Technology Park at Killagoley, where he viewed plans for an advanced factory.  

Wexford County Council has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IDA Ireland to collaboratively develop a property solution for an advanced factory of 2,500 square metres at Enniscorthy Technology Park.  

The design and planning of the advanced building solution were completed by Henry J. Lyons, Architects with planning permission application lodged in December 2025. 

The first building in the Technology Park, Senan House, was delivered by a private investor and the building represents a milestone in Irish architecture and business. It stands as the first certified fully passive commercial building in Ireland. 

Chief Executive of Wexford County Council, Eddie Taaffe, said; “The Taoiseach’s visit to Wexford was an opportunity to shine a spotlight on Wexford and how Wexford County Council supported projects such as the Hatch Lab has contributed significantly to job creation in Wexford. 

He went on to say the signing of the MOU with IDA Ireland and the submission of the application for planning is a significant first step in progressing an advanced factory solution in Enniscorthy which will ultimately attract inward investment to the county”.
