Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I again thank the Deputy. There will be no delay in the processing of payments to workers affected by this outcome. The Department of Social Protection has notified all local offices in Dublin of the arrangements it is making to deal with individual claims or numbers of claims that will arise in any of these offices. The issue will be dealt with as speedily as possible. I thank the Deputy for his offer of co-operation. Obviously, a point was made by the Minister of State about the way the situation had evolved and its outcome. He will prepare a report for the Government on the suitability and efficiency of what is well tried legislation. It is the insensitivity of what has happened that has shocked most people, particularly the location in which it occurred at such short notice for staff. As indicated, Mr. Finn has given 43 years of his life to the establishment which, as the Deputy knows, was the first port of call for thousands of people from all over the country on their visits to Dublin for very many years.
