Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael)

Question 66: To ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment if he will address immediately the erosion of Ennis as an industrial base with the recent announcement that a company (details supplied) will close with the loss of 131 jobs; if a new industrial investment programme for Ennis in conjunction with Enterprise Ireland, IDA Ireland and Shannon Development will be developed as a matter of urgency to address the lack of investment in the town over the past 15 years to prevent Ennis from becoming a dormitory town; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
