It is good to hear the Minister say this will be an absolute priority for the Government because it is a huge blow to County Clare, Shannon in particular. It is also a huge blow to the people who work in Molex and their families, to whom I have spoken and listened. They are really concerned as they face an uncertain future. It is critically important that all resources of the State be deployed. I welcome the Minister's confirmation that that will happen. It is also critically important that be communicated directly to the workforce and I encourage the Minister to do so and also to keep up the momentum following her intervention today. We need to get the task force moving straightaway also.

I encourage the Minister to keep all the public representatives in the region abreast of activities in that regard.
