The Tánaiste indicated that she will try to put in place training measures for the workers to help them secure alternative employment. That will help if alternative employment can be found and can be generated for that particular region. I would like to hear the Tánaiste's representative indicating that east Cork will be a prime focus for new industrial development because the region has been dependent on old industry. It behoves us all to try to act responsibly. There is no point at this stage in playing political games, but there is a grave onus on the Tánaiste and her Department to respond in a positive and fair fashion to what is not just an employment crisis, but a genuine human crisis affecting three different communities across the island.
