Micheál Martin (Cork South Central, Fianna Fail)

Deputy Varadkar mentioned Allergan. What happened in Arklow is extremely disappointing for the workers and all concerned. We will work hard to replace that and get in alternative employment.

It has a different operation in Mayo. Mayo is the sole manufacturing site for botox in the world. When I say botox, people should not think only of the face, etc. Botox is a remarkable drug which has approximately 20 applications. I have been to Allergan in the States. The pride and the performance of that company in Mayo, in terms of what they have managed to achieve, is outstanding.
