- An tOrd Gnó (Atógáil) - Order of Business (Resumed) (22 Mar 2022)
Kieran O'Donnell: On the same issue, the Tánaiste will appreciate that there has been major fallout in Limerick. Roadbridge employs 630 people and has been synonymous with Limerick for more than 40 years. A receiver was appointed last Friday, so the company is not in liquidation; it is in receivership.
