Michael D Higgins (Galway West, Labour)

In accordance with the terms of Standing Order 31, I wish to give notice of my intention to raise the following matter of public interest requiring urgent attention, the need for the Government to clarify its policy position on the future of the Great Southern Hotel Group in view of the fears that have been created among the staff, the tourism industry and the public as to what the Government has decided, its time-scale and the implications of the sale of this State asset.
