I was afraid Dr. Quinn would give an answer like that. Clearly, we could now see quite a number of companies close as a result of Covid-19. In fact, Covid-19 was cited by the Henderson Group, which announced the closure of plants in County Meath and Glaslough, in my constituency. The Glaslough plant employs 48. I noted that the Minister's response was very similar to what Dr. Quinn has just said, essentially that the Department will set up meetings with the employees and the Intreo office. In other words, the Department will help them get social welfare. There seems to be no initiative on the part of the Department to ascertain whether there is anything it can do to save the jobs and the businesses in the first instance. Is that a fair reflection?
