Michael Finneran (Longford-Roscommon, Fianna Fail)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to debate the following specific and important matter of local and national interest requiring urgent consideration: the proposed closure of the Glanbia factory at Roosky, County Roscommon, with the loss of the remaining 85 jobs and the disgraceful treatment handed down to the village of Roosky and its people by the Glanbia company when it has already pocketed €30 million by way of an insurance claim following a fire at the factory in 2002, with the loss of more than 400 jobs and the ultimate insult by refusing a management buy-out which would have protected these remaining 85 jobs.
