As I understand it, this is a liquidation. Our main focus in the past week or two has been trying to make sure that the workers affected had their redundancy rights protected. That has been done. On subcontractors getting paid, the Deputy will be very aware that when companies fail, unfortunately, sometimes suppliers and subcontractors do not get paid in full but they do get paid in part. That will all depend on how much money is left at the end of the liquidation.

We are working to ensure that important public projects for which Roadbridge has contracts can continue. My colleague, Deputy O'Donnell, has been very active on this, as has Deputy O'Dea. These contracts particularly relate to a 38-home housing project in Moyross and Southill in Limerick, the Coonagh to Knockalisheen road in Moyross and the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge road. Work is being done to make sure those projects continue.
