Jack Wall (Kildare South, Labour)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the serious implications for employment and farming in the Leinster area of the decision to close the Greencore sugar plant in Carlow and the need for the Minister for Agriculture and Food to enter into discussions with the company with a view to the retention of the plant, especially as no decisions have yet been taken at EU level regarding the future of the sugar industry.
