I am not sure whether the Deputy is asking about legislation. Yesterday's events were terrible for the people who are employed at the facility in question and their families. I assure the Deputy that since yesterday, IDA Ireland has been out securing another investor or buyer for the plant. We have directed Enterprise Ireland to go into the site. The elected representatives from County Kildare, the chief executive of Kildare County Council and members of both chambers of commerce met yesterday and agreed to work together. We will be working with the State agencies, including Enterprise Ireland and IDA Ireland, and with the Department of Social Protection. We are also exploring the educational and globalisation fund to help the people who lost their jobs.
