John Clendennen wants control of business park development shifted from the IDA to local councils.
SME businesses in rural Ireland don't have enough room to grow according to a Fine Gael TD.
Offaly's John Clendennen says more businesses parks are needed to encourage more investment in areas outside of Dublin.
He wants to see the establishment of the parks taken out of the hands of the IDA and given to local authorities.
Deputy Clendennen says it could help unlock business potential to forgotten areas:
