Brian O'Shea (Waterford, Labour)

The Tánaiste already raised it and I am seeking clarity on what she said on the issue. The Minister said she sees a sound future for a restructured Waterford Crystal, but how can she reconcile that with the fact that the company needs loans of €39 million to effect the restructuring package and that it has no capacity to borrow? That does not add up. As my party leader said, will 550 jobs be allowed to go down the tubes?
