Paul Connaughton Snr (Galway East, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the failure of the Coca-Cola company to honour a Labour Court judgment concerning redundancy payments to its laid-off workers at Tuam, Dublin and Cork; the obvious sneaking disregard of Coca-Cola for its former employees who worked diligently over many years; the total disregard of the company for the Labour Court; and the fact that other former employees of Coca-Cola recently received much higher levels of redundancy payments than those being offered to the striking workers in Tuam and elsewhere.
