Jerry Cowley (Mayo, Independent)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following urgent matter: the loss of 40 manufacturing jobs at the Oasis plant in Ballina, County Mayo, which will have a devastating effect on the north Mayo town given that the high unemployment rate in the town is twice the national rate, and to ask the Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment what action he will take to replace the lost jobs, and if he will put pressure on the IDA and if he will outline what other steps he will take to create employment in this employment blackspot.
