Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Tourism and Employment

General Scheme of the Industrial Development (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Discussion

2:00 am

Ms Sarah O'Connell:

Our colleagues in regions and myself on the property side would instigate what we call a job-loss protocol when the unfortunate event arises where we have a closure within a region. That has a number of strands and goes across many activities with many different stakeholders from looking to upskill the existing employees and support them on their journey and the next steps to marketing the facilities across our global teams to make sure that the wider ecosystem is aware of the availability of that infrastructure and facility within that county or town. It also includes upskilling and engagement with the local authority around how we can set out the stall with respect of the location and all the things it offers. We are very proactive in that space in making sure we put together the right stakeholders to try to remedy or resolve an issue that has arisen or where there is a job closure or a company closure in a region.
