That is good. For the record, MBNA employed thousands and had downscaled substantially when it became Bank of America, and Avantcard after the fact. They would have been available. Toucan Telecommunications had also been in Sligo for a number of years, so its former staff would have been available. Abtran, which did its direct recruitment locally and did not go all the way to Cork to seek staff in the Sligo or north-west area, employed 350 people and did not seem to have a problem. Does Ms Lennon accept that the problem here is not a CEO blaming the staff but, rather, the management team not planning appropriately for a set-up?
