Aengus Ó Snodaigh (Dublin South Central, Sinn Fein)

When did the Minister become aware that the company was in trouble? If he was aware, why was a task force not put in place to try to ensure workers had alternatives? Has the liquidator been informed that the Government would support either a worker or a State buy-out of the company to ensure workers in that region would not be affected in the wway they will be if the company closes? It would be appropriate for the State to say it will buy-out this company initially to ensure workers have continuation of employment and orders are filled. Workers could then try to look towards the future.
