Job Losses (29 Mar 2012)

Richard Boyd Barrett: This cannot go on. Consider Jane Norman, Lagan Brick, Le Senza, Vita Cortex and now the 121 GAME workers. That employers or administrators can chew workers up and spit them out is not acceptable and has gone on for too long. We need Government action.

I will discuss that point but, given the fact that he referred to the capital programme, I will make an equally brief comment. According to the Minister of State, the capital investment programme remains substantial at €17 billion, but it is important...

Richard Boyd Barrett: I look forward to his explanation because the Government has spoken at length about the importance of this initiative and its potential for job creation.
