Jimmy Deenihan (Kerry North, Fine Gael)

Following the closure of Dell this time last year, the Tánaiste set up a task force under the chairmanship of Dennis Brosnan, which reported last September. We have asked on numerous occasions in the House that this interim report be debated. Is it possible to allow time to discuss the report? The task force will meet with local representatives next Friday and I believe its members are becoming disillusioned because their proposals have not been considered by Government. Is it possible for us to have a debate in the House on the report?
