Éamon Ó Cuív (Galway West, Fianna Fail)

Have the IDA and the Government been informed of the exact number of jobs at risk? What steps have been taken by the Minister responsible and the IDA to save the jobs? What proposals does the Government have to provide alternative employment to people affected by this decision across the midlands and the west? What plans are in place to work with the employees and management of the company to organise training and reskilling of workers? Will the IDA seek a clawback of grants paid to the company? Can I also be assured by the Tánaiste that there is no threat to jobs in another company facility in Blanchardstown, Dublin? Is it intended to use the underspend of €10 million at the end of the August on the Tús programme to provide more jobs and opportunities for unemployed people?
