While the sale of the Irish credit card business in Carrick-on-Shannon to AvantCard (Apollo) has secured more than 200 jobs in the town, the failure to have a long-term strategy on the UK credit card business is leading to a shedding of jobs in Carrick-on-Shannon. Two years ago 400 people were employed in managing the UK credit card business but that number has decreased to approximately 200 people. I want to know from the Minister what is happening to secure those jobs and to secure additional investment in Carrick-on-Shannon.
