Richard Bruton (Dublin North Central, Fine Gael)

I understand and appreciate the anxiety of the company's staff. There has been much media speculation about this matter, which is one of great concern. I urge the company to consult with its staff. The review process is not yet complete according to my clear understanding from the company, but I see no reason for not engaging with staff.

We are taking a proactive approach to this matter and cost issues relating to property have been brought to our attention. In this respect, the IDA will assist the company in any way it can. We will seek the best outcome, but this is a difficult time for the company and its market has soured.
