Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

It was never stated that SR Technics would be included in this scheme. I met representatives of the group and they made good arguments but according to the definition of insolvency in legislation introduced by the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, the company does not qualify. I sympathise with the workers because, as far as they are concerned, the company no longer exists. However, under legal terms and definitions it does not qualify for this scheme.
