Answer
Invest NI facilitated five visits for potential inward investors to East Londonderry during the 2014/15 financial year. Typically, an investor will visit more than one parliamentary area as part of a visit programme, and is also likely to visit on more than one occasion before any decision is taken. On average, this process can take 12-24 months. Details of such visits, including outcomes, are regarded as ‘commercial-in-confidence’, until the point the company agrees to any public announcement.
