Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

I do not wish to be vexatious a Cheann Comhairle, but as that issue has been raised I would like to make a brief comment. I reject the Tánaiste's notion that it is inappropriate to discuss the matter on the floor of this House. I raised the matter yesterday with the Taoiseach and again this morning asked the Tánaiste, who has not yet replied to my question, if this matter in regard to Halifax will be addressed here and if she will report to the House the efforts she and the Government has made, in terms of engagement with Halifax, to save the jobs of 750 employees and their dependants.
