Fianna Fail's Tony McCormack says it's needed to keep commuters closer to home.
An Offaly TD says more commuters will be able to stay closer to home following a new IDA Ireland investment in the Midlands.
That's according to Fianna Fail TD Tony McCormack.
26 hectares of land are being secured for a new enterprise and business park in Tullamore in partnership with the local authority.
It's also expected to create new jobs as the current business parks are at full capacity.
Fianna Fail Deputy Tony McCormack says it's badly needed:
