James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the threat to the economic viability of the midlands posed by the potential loss of the Alienware plant in Athlone, a subsidiary of Dell, with the 70 jobs there being relocated to Poland, as a direct result of the lack of competitiveness and high costs engendered by the current Government.

I do not see Deputy O'Rourke present, who is always huffing and puffing about what she is doing for Athlone. Where is she today?
