Leo Varadkar (Dublin West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I join Deputy O'Dowd in expressing my concern and regret that PayPal has announced these job losses. Some 135 of them will be my constituency and 172 will be in Deputy O’Dowd’s constituency. The company has given a commitment that it is here to stay in Ireland and will continue to have over 2,000 people employed in west Dublin, Louth and other parts of the country. We are ambitious about the IDA land bank in Drogheda. It is a really good opportunity to get a major jobs-rich investment into Drogheda, which is of course the biggest town in Ireland. I look forward to visiting Drogheda in the near future, hopefully with a view to making a positive announcement.
