James Bannon (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 32 to discuss the a matter of national and local importance, namely, the loss of over 100 jobs in Longford at B3 Cables, which is a huge blow to the county, the midlands and the country, as this company is one of the major employers in Longford. Given the shocking increase in unemployment, with the associated human suffering from the economic fall out, it is another nail in the coffin of the supposed recovery. It is a tragedy for the workforce in Longford and I would appreciate if you would give us an opportunity today to discuss this matter.
