Pat Breen (Clare, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss a matter of extreme importance, namely, the continuing job losses throughout the country, including the loss today of 300 jobs at Element Six in Shannon and FBD Insurance. Those 300 employees face a devastating Christmas with few alternative job proposals. I call on the Government, particularly the Tánaiste, to renew efforts to attract new industry to my region, given the fact that almost 1,700 people have lost their jobs since the Taoiseach took up his position.
