Two Carlow Councillors are calling on the owners of the Braun factory site and the IDA to get together and agree a deal for the organisation to buy the site.
The building and grounds on O Brien Road have been sitting idle for the past few years and at one time employed 14 hundred people.
Fergal Browne and Tom O Neill will raise the issue formally at next weeks Council meeting and Councillor O Neill says the IDA have ignored Carlow to date.
