Mr. Feargal O'Rourke:

I was reading myself into the job in recent weeks. What tends to happen is that the companies give the IDA an early warning that this is happening and the IDA will then engage with them, first to see if the workers can be redeployed elsewhere. The IDA works very constructively to see how many jobs we can work with the company to try to preserve. It also works with Enterprise Ireland and other companies in the area with regard to the fact that there will be people coming onto the jobs market. The normal course of action when something like this happens is the IDA gets involved straightaway with the company in question, associated companies and EI to see if it can help with people who may be coming onto the jobs market in the next while. That will take place.
