If the Leas-Chathaoirleach could give me a little leeway, I would appreciate it. HP Inc. has received €62.3 million in grant assistance since its operations were established in Ireland. The IDA will recover any moneys outstanding from the company in line with the legal arrangements in place between the IDA and HP Inc. The total amount that will be reimbursed to the IDA will be approximately €3.9 million. I was asked about the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. We have contacted the Department of Education and Skills, which has agreed to explore it. Certain criteria apply. It is for companies that make people redundant within four months. In this case, it is 12 months, therefore it will be a difficult case to make, but we will explore it.
