Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

We are not happy with these two motions, namely, No. 16 which is being sought without debate and the subsequent guillotine. The House needs to set aside time to debate the imminent disappearance of hopes of recovery of the jobs in SR Technics. As the Tánaiste will know, the company has signalled the sale of key assets in this company which will pull the leg out from under the various proposals that have developed by the IDA. Many feel that the Government sleepwalked into this crisis.
