Mattie McGrath (Tipperary, Independent) | Oireachtas source

It would not. At least I have legislation to refer to, unlike the last Deputy. It is an important issue. Last week in Nenagh we had Coty's announcement and in that regard I thank the Minister for meeting us yesterday. I want to know what action the Government will take to ensure that the Bord na Móna plant will be secured for the workers in Tipperary. We have had too many hits in Tipperary. In terms of jobs being lost, it is as if we are under siege at the moment. When I put the question yesterday about ConnectIreland, I did not get much of an answer from IDA Ireland once the Minister had left. Something funny is going on. There is not a nice tang off it. I want to talk about "ConnectTipperary". I want to stay connected. I want some answers about the future of the Bord na Móna plant at Littleton.
