Mary Coughlan (Donegal South West, Fianna Fail)

There might be a coup in which shareholders would like to take over.

Some see this as a political opportunity. There are two basic parts to the issue. One is to ensure that all support possible in the context of replacement industry is provided to Carlow town and the other is to ensure the farming community is facilitated in the transportation of its beet. There are annual arrangements between farmers and the company regarding the costs of transporting the beet. I am sure the farming community and its representatives will be in consultation and negotiation with the company to ensure that those who have to transport beet further than heretofore will be facilitated.
