I thank the Deputy for raising this matter. When any notification such as this is made to the Department, we immediately send somebody out to the organisation and hold information evenings for all those who are unfortunately losing their jobs to ensure that they know their exact entitlements and to get them on their social welfare payment immediately, but also to look at their skills, work with the Intreo offices and local jobs organisations and liaise with JobPath people to see what positions are available locally to try to get people back to work as quickly as possible. I will include the Deputy in correspondence on the matter this week.
