I appreciate the Deputy's input and that of his colleagues on this important issue for workers in the mid-west region. Extensive engagement has taken place and we are at the point of conclusion. I will bring a memorandum to Government on this in the coming weeks. I am confident that we are in a position to conclude the agreed financial support for this year, and to put this on a stable and certain footing going forward. The Departments of Public Expenditure, National Development Plan Delivery and Reform, and Housing, Local Government and Heritage are finalising the matter. I believe that there is a good shared understanding of the matter, which follows on from the good engagement we had when we visited Shannon recently.
