The quarterly household survey published last week showed a dramatic slowdown in the level of job creation. I seek the Minister's views on the matter.

I imagine Deputy Tóibín would agree with me in respect of my next question. With leniency from the Leas-Cheann Comhairle, I call on the Minister to update the House on the current situation at Bausch and Lomb. We have sought to raise this as a matter - I can speak for Deputy Tóibín - as a matter for the Topical Issue debate. We have applied again today but we have been unsuccessful. Will the Minister outline his involvement, his knowledge of the situation and when he became aware of it?
